The administration of United States President Donald Trump has announced criminal charges against 15 Minnesota activists described as members of antifa, the loose-knit anti-fascist organisation.
At a news conference on Tuesday, US Attorney Daniel Rosen tied the charges to Trumps directive last year to counter domestic terrorism and organised political violence.
Political violence is a national scourge in our times, Rosen said, before outlining the charges.
They include conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers, solicitation to commit violence, interstate threats, interstate stalking, assaulting federal officers and the destruction of government property.

We the rational and sane people in this country, and our media need to quit allowing the MAGATS to misrepresent this. It is an ANTI-FASCIST movement there is no organization called antifa. The ANTI-FASCIST are not an organization as such but actual concerned citizens trying to protect democracy as caring individuals.
