It’s always antifa, right? Defintely couldn’t be anyone else because only antifa is against unconstitutional and illegal ICE raids

Although it's easy to see that "antifa" means "anti-facist", there may also be people who don't make that connection. Especially when the media says "antifa, anarchists" it's as if they are trying to make people recognize "antifa" as just some weird name for an anarchist group instead of an anti-fascist group.

Exactly, because they don't want people who don't know/don't understand to figure that out. Because if you're not fascist, then how could you be opposed to anti-fascists? It's why they never say the full name.
