Summary of HR 9109 (Session 119)

Purpose and intent

HR 9109 seeks to designate Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and to authorize measures to counter domestic terrorism and organized political violence. The bill’s language indicates a focus on identifying, disrupting, and prosecuting activities associated with such groups, as well as providing tools and authorities to federal agencies to address domestic terrorism.

Key provisions and changes (as described by the bill’s title and sponsor notes)

Designation: Officially designate Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.

Counterterrorism authorities: Provide or expand authorities for federal agencies and law enforcement to counter domestic terrorism and organized political violence, including actions against individuals and networks involved in such activities.

Related policy tools: Potentially authorizes sanctions, investigations, intelligence collection, financial tracking, and other enforcement mechanisms aimed at domestic terrorist activity and its support networks.

Jurisdictional scope: Actions would involve multiple federal departments and agencies, with oversight from specified committees (Judiciary; Homeland Security; Ways and Means; Financial Services).

Who or what would be affected

Individuals and organizations identified as members, supporters, or operationally connected to Antifa (as defined by implementing definitions within the bill) could face enhanced enforcement actions.

Financial networks and supporters of domestic terrorism may be subject to sanctions, asset freezes, or other financial remedies.

Federal agencies (e.g., Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, Treasury and related agencies) could gain expanded authorities for investigation, surveillance, and disruption of terrorist activities.

Legislative oversight: The bill would be subject to committee review by the Judiciary, Homeland Security, Ways and Means, and Financial Services, potentially affecting how domestic terrorism matters are coordinated across departments.

Procedural and timeline aspects

Introduction: The bill was introduced in the House and has a sponsor, with Greg Steube listed as a co-sponsor.

Referral: On June 2, 2026, HR 9109 was referred to multiple committees: Judiciary, Homeland Security, Ways and Means, and Financial Services. The referral indicates a plan for parallel consideration of provisions within each committee’s jurisdiction.

Next steps: Depending on committee action, the bill could proceed to floor consideration, amendments, and votes in the House. If advanced, it could move to the Senate (subject to its own processes) or be subject to negotiations for broader counterterrorism legislation.

Notes and context

The bill’s focus on designating a specific domestic organization (Antifa) as a terrorist organization aligns with a strategy to label and counter domestic terrorism with formal designations and associated enforcement powers.

The actual statutory definitions, procedures for designation, due process, appeal mechanisms, and safeguards would be detailed in the bill’s text and related amendments, and would shape how broadly or narrowly the provisions apply.
