Tim Walz of Minnesota tweeted Sunday, after previously suggesting that white supremacists or people from outside the state fomented the unrest. Others said white supremacists and far-right groups were responsible, pointing to online statements by adherents that the upheaval would hasten the collapse of a multiethnic, multicultural United States. Antifa is not an organization, and it does not have a leader, membership roles or any defined, centralized structure.

Federal agents this year dismantled the Base and Atomwaffen, two of the most violent far-right groups.
