Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec spoke about the Trump administration’s new move to designate Antifa chapters as foreign terrorist organizations on Thursday’s edition of the show.

Posobiec kicked off the program by highlighting new reporting on the State Department’s decision to classify several Antifa groups in Europe as foreign terrorist organizations.

“Ladies and gentlemen, it's now being reported that President Trump, Trump administration, and specifically through the State Department, is designating Antifa a foreign terrorist organization,” he said, noting that journalist Julio Rosas first broke the story.



“We also see the reporting coming out from the Post Millennial now, but Julio broke this story. He says the US State Department is now the latest agency to take action against violent Antifa chapters.”

The move includes multiple groups overseas.

“They’ve designated four Antifa groups in Europe as foreign terrorist organizations,” he said. “Antifa Ost, based in Germany. The International Revolutionary Front, also known as the Informal Anarchist Federation, based in Italy… Armed Proletarian Justice, based in Greece… Revolutionary Class Self-Defense, based in Greece.”

He added that the designation follows recommendations he made directly to the White House.

“If you remember, when I visited the White House for the Antifa roundtable on left-wing violence several weeks ago, I specifically asked the President to do this. He asked if we should. I said, yes, Mr. President, we should,” Posobiec said.

He stressed that the State Department considers these organizations responsible for violent attacks abroad.

“Each of these groups are responsible for carrying out multiple attacks in Europe, according to the State Department,” Posobiec said. “Antifa Ost was labeled a terrorist organization by Hungary in September 2025 after the group's militias assaulted nine people with hammers, batons, and pepper spray in Budapest, Hungary, 2023… militants affiliated with the International Revolutionary Front shot and wounded a nuclear engineering executive in 2012.”

“A foreign terrorist organization designation gives the State Department incredible powers to go after these organizations, and this is the key part, and their affiliates,” Posobiec said. “Under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, a foreign terrorist designation organization criminalizes material support… Anyone under U.S. jurisdiction who knowingly provides material support to this terrorist group is punishable for up to 20 years to prison or life.”

“You can have your assets frozen. You can restrict immigration and travel, the no-fly list, and others. You can have sanctions. You can lose your bank account.” Posobiec said the designation allows senior administration officials to act immediately.

“This is where the US Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besant, can now use all of their powers to go after the money, to go after the links, to go after anyone who's threatening the security of US nationals or national security in conjunction with these groups.”

He suggested that further investigations may follow. “So let's see. Let's see if Antifa locally has ties to these groups overseas,” he said.

Posobiec closed the segment by recalling past Antifa-linked activity.

“I want to really see that Spanish Antifa group designated because it's really interesting to me that Dr. Antifa fled directly to Spain… and immediately started working with Spanish Antifa. Almost like he was providing material support to a terrorist organization. Perish the thought.”

“Direct action from the White House on Antifa. That's what we've wanted.”
