Prosecutors closed out their case with testimony from their expert witness on antifa: Kyle Shideler, director and senior analyst of homeland security and counterterrorism at the Center for Security Policy.
The terrorism think tank, known for putting out content that targets Muslims and Islam, has been called a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Shideler disputed that designation when questioned by the defense.
Shideler said he began studying antifa more heavily in 2020. He authored a memo on how President Donald Trump’s administration can crack down on far-left extremists and later testified in Congress on the topic after Trump issued an executive order designating antifa as a domestic terror threat.
“Antifa,” Shideler testified, is short for “Antifaschistische Aktion,” or “anti-fascist action” in German. It was the name of a far-left organization in World War II Germany that Shideler said opposed not only the Nazi party, but center-right and center-left individuals and movements.
