Key figures linked to Antifa have fled the United States following President Donald Trump’s designation of the group as a domestic terrorist organization.

Johan Victorin, founder of “Rose City Antifa,” a group based in Portland, Oregon, a city that has had frequent Antifa activity during protests, was seen on Oct. 6 in the city of Vaberg, Sweden, according to an X post and video by Swedish investigative journalist Christian Peterson. According to Project Veritas, which did an undercover exposé of Rose City in 2020, Victorin is a dual citizen of Sweden and the United States.
