This is an incoherent blog post.

1. The concept of "domestic terrorist organization" not a thing under any US law. Further, there exists no such organization in observable reality.

2. "All relevant executive departments and agencies shall utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations" is … nothing, because that's what federal law enforcement is already charged with.

Also, Antifa is the name of a political ideology, not any particular organization.

The Biden DHS called them “loosely affiliated organizations” because they were underground. Closest analogy might be anonymous or lulz. You can see members show up to protests and carry Antifa flags, in full military gear, causing violence, etc. There are arrest videos on YouTube, and the ATF, DHS, and Florida AG went after some named members back in 2023
