Calling for the designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.

HRES 272 is a symbolic House resolution introduced in March 2021 by several Republican representatives. It calls on the Department of Homeland Security to formally designate Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization under existing legal definitions (18 U.S.C. § 2331), citing alleged violent actions including attacks on federal officers, property damage during protests, and threats against law enforcement. The resolution specifically references incidents in Portland, Oregon, and Tacoma, Washington, as justification for its position. It does not create new law but urges federal action against domestic terrorism, condemning violent tactics while emphasizing peaceful First Amendment expression.
