The Justice Department brought its first federal terrorism case in the Trump administration’s crackdown on Antifa Wednesday, alleging that two people connected to the left-wing ideology participated in a coordinated attack on a federal immigration detention facility.
Prosecutors accuse Zachary Evetts and Cameron Arnold, who also goes by the name Autumn Hill, of being members of an “Antifa Cell” that used vandalism and fireworks to draw law enforcement officers out of an immigration detention facility near Fort Worth, Texas, and into the sights of two shooters positioned in a line of trees across the street.
The indictment is a major step in the administration’s campaign against Antifa, which they say wants to violently challenge the federal government and Trump’s supporters.
Trump designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization last month.
Until the case against Evetts and Arnold was unsealed Thursday, it was unclear how federal prosecutors planned to legally define Antifa as a terrorist organization. Antifa is largely thought of as more of an ideology than an organized group, CNN has previously reported.

3 protestors accused of things, but those charges might get dropped given previous dropped charges against protestors...
In any case, if it is a war zone, there's a cause and the cause isn't the protest.
That doesn't stop the call for violence from the right-wing even when people know DHS is throwing tear gas. Look at the comments like "juice em all" and "The brains of the people at those riots are already cooked, tear gas wont harm them any worse" and "
No one cares trump is only getting started."
