Episode notes
Executive Order Signals Intent Not Legal Cure
- The EO designates Antifa as a violent extremist movement, not merely an ideology, enabling new investigative approaches.
- Andy Ngo argues the order signals intent but faces First Amendment and domestic-law limits.
International Links Could Trigger FTO Path
- U.S. Antifa maintains international links that could allow an FTO designation by the State Department.
- Ngo says an FTO label would unlock existing terrorism statutes the EO cannot reach domestically.
San Diego Cell Convicted After Signal Chat Evidence
- Ngo recounted the San Diego 2021 case where 12 SoCal Antifa members were charged after a planned violent attack.
- Trials exposed signal chats, planning, witness intimidation, and led to convictions and prison time.
