Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

NEW: Trump's recent declaration that he's looking into designating "antifa" as a foreign terrorist organization hasn't received enough attention.

In contrast to Trump's recent EO, the designation would allow the feds to prosecute for "material support."

At Jack Posobiec's request, Trump is agreeing to designate "antifa" as a foreign terrorist organization.

Unlike the "domestic terrorist organization" EO issued last month, the FTO designation has real teeth, allowing the government to prosecute for material support. www.youtube.com/live/G7hQH3o...

Still trying to process what I saw in Broadview last night. DHS has no rules. Its agents went to war against people who were using their 1a rights. It's a high-risk protest environment and they want people scared and alone but I saw people angry and together, helping each other. I saw

Photo of a man holding a U.S. flag on a flag pole over his shoulder. Two Mexican flags are seen in the background attached to a chain linked fence.

Photo of a sign outside Broadview ICE facility that states "MAGA Mexicans Ain't Going Anywhere."
