According to Wikipedia (maybe not optimal source), via the PATRIOT Act, groups can be designated as domestic terrorists.
I don’t know anything about this topic. Can you expand why you said that there is no “...legal authority to designate a domestic organization as a terrorist group”.
I’m no asking about Antifa specifically but generally.

- groby_b 6y agoThe very first sentence of the Wikipedia article you linked to has your answer: "Domestic terrorism in the United States consists of incidents confirmed as terrorist acts." incidents confirmed as terrorist acts. The PATRIOT act defines acts of terrorism. It's on a case-by-case basis. It is not possible to take a domestic organization and designate it wholesale as terrorists. The page also explains that there is no federal criminal offense that is "domestic terrorism".
