The executive order, issued in the wake of a fatal shooting involving conservative activist Charlie Kirk, defines Antifa as a 'militaristic, anarchistic association explicitly calling for the overthrow of the United States government' [2]. However, legal experts immediately raised significant concerns about the order's implementation and constitutional validity.

Critically, the United States currently lacks a legal mechanism to classify domestic groups as terrorist organizations [1]. Constitutional scholars argue that the order's vague language fails to provide clear definitions of which specific individuals or groups would be targeted.

Experts emphasize that Antifa is more accurately described as an ideology rather than a structured organization, further complicating any potential enforcement of the executive order [3]. The lack of a precise definition raises substantial questions about potential violations of First Amendment rights.

The executive order represents an unprecedented attempt to legally categorize a decentralized political movement, with potential far-reaching implications for civil liberties and political protest in the United States.
