AntiFa activists took over a hotel in Washington state.

It is unclear if Tahoma Housing Now can be accurately called AntiFa, but they did take over a hotel.

It is unclear if Tahoma Housing Now can be accurately called AntiFa, but they did take over a hotel. On December 24, 2020, Tacoma Housing Now, a housing advocacy group, started occupying sixteen rooms in a Travelodge in Tacoma, a city in Washington. Apparently, the group wanted to provide "homes and wrap-around services for the homeless," according to a local police report filed on December 30, 2020. However, they did not want to pay for the rooms they were occupying.

Fife police ordered the Travelodge guests to leave the property at the request of motel owner Shawn Randhawa. Later all those guests voluntarily left, according to a statement from Fife Police Chief Peter Fisher.

The police report makes no mention of AntiFa—the term used to describe a large number of anti-fascist groups. Indeed, it seems that only very biased news outlets have explicitly used the term. From Tacoma Housing Now's Twitter account, it is clear that the group is left-leaning. However, they have not used this specific term to describe their ideology or actions.
