I would not be at all surprised to see prominent black leaders in the BLM movement be swept up in that.
I'm interested to see how that designation holds up in an actual court of law. I'm not sure that he or anyone has the authority do make that designation. How exactly does one prove that a defendant is part of an organization that isn't really organized and has no real hierarchy? If someone commits a crime, sure, prosecute. I just think it's dodgy ground for association alone to be deemed enough to charge someone.
