First, there's no "terrorist organization". Antifa doesn't exist as an organization.

Second, the zines cannot be evidence of the crimes committed, i.e. setting off fireworks, and injuring an officer.

These are your emotional-based feelings. The facts are that the DOJ has a different terrorist definition, and that the legal concept of "conspiracy" exists. On Reddit/4chan-type websites, emotional opinions get the most upvotes. On fact-based websites they don't.
It's kind of fact-based that "antifa" is not an organization in the real world.

It's as real as claiming that "pro-gun" is an organization, or "anti-pollution" is an organization.

The zines are only evidence of Rueda's political opinions, not of intent to carry out a crime.
