ACLU, ADL Oppose 'Terrorist' Designation for Antifa

A bill to designate Antifa members as "domestic terrorists" has been proposed by Republican senators, but two activist groups, the American Civil Liberties Union and Anti-Defamation League, are opposed, The Washington Post reported.

"It is dangerous and overly broad to use labels that are disconnected [from] actual individual conduct," ACLU National Security Project Director Hina Shamsi told the Post. "And as we've seen how 'terrorism' has been used already in this country, any such scheme raises significant due process, equal protection, and First Amendment constitutional concerns."

The ADL warns the GOP bill might permit law enforcement to label all counter-protesters of white supremacists as Antifa and taken advantage of expanded investigative authority under domestic terrorism law.
