If I am not mistaken, then Antifa is a very nebulous and imprecise term like e.g. "woke"! I am not sure this is a good idea!
Is Antifa not a vague category or hodgepodge of groups, activists etc.? Some are militant, others are not etc.
The term may not be very operational or is too comprehensive, convoluted!
He probably should have called something like lawbreaking radical militant groups and individuals (no matter what the political affiliation etc.) that commit certain violations of the law (as described in the executive order or see below).
"... Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise [???] that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.
It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these goals.
This campaign involves coordinated efforts to obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing of and other threats against political figures and activists.
Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in this violence and suppression of political activity, then employs elaborate means and mechanisms to shield the identities of its operatives, conceal its funding sources and operations in an effort to frustrate law enforcement, and recruit additional members. ..."
