DALLAS—Individuals identified as North Texas Antifa members have testified in a landmark domestic terrorism case that social justice and anti-government ideology influenced their involvement with the group.

The trial in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas follows President Donald Trump’s executive order on Sept. 22, 2025, designating the Antifa far-left extremist group as a domestic terrorist organization.
