Authorities say they arrested 16 violent members of the Antifa group at a “counter-protest” to a small and peaceful march in Philadelphia, after the members clashed with police.

On Aug. 25, members from the far-left extremist group rallied at City Hall in opposition to a “Blue Lives Matter” march, where residents came out to show their support for law enforcement.
