as Trump administration eyes foreign terrorist designation
Antifa cells in America actively receive funding from an international antifascist network working to establish chapters around the world, though their financial ties might soon be severed, as U.S. national security officials are reportedly moving toward a foreign terrorism classification for antifa abroad.
Antifa International an antifascist cohort helping far-left militants connect to local antifa cells or operate their own, is one of the international networks providing material support to antifa operatives in the United States by way of its bail fund.
The Antifa International Defense Fund, a project of Antifa International, effectively serving as its funding arm, pays for the legal defense of arrested antifascists “anywhere in the world,” including the U.S.
For instance, Antifa International to the legal defense fund of the Texas antifa cell whose suspected members are charged with attempted murder, terrorism, and organized crime for allegedly attacking an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility on July 4.
“The stakes could not be higher for our friends,” reads a blog post by Antifa International about the slew of charges carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Antifa International touts its intervention in these criminal cases as “money well-spent,” celebrating when antifascist defendants are able to “walk away from criminal trials with not guilty verdicts” or get “their charges thrown out altogether!”
