The son of Minnesota’s top law enforcement official came out in support of Antifa, the far-left group that President Donald Trump plans to designate as a terrorist organization.

Jeremiah Ellison, a Democratic member of the Minneapolis City Council, responded to Trump’s announcement over the weekend, writing in a social media statement: “I hereby declare, officially, my support for ANTIFA.”
