One role of the CPS is to continue "to work to combat those who seek to sow hatred and division by advancing extremist ideologies"(CPS website, 2017).

"Britain First" are an extremist group with a record of arrests and charges for "religiously aggravated harassment". By tweeting his support for this group, Donald Trump has 'advanced' their extremist ideologies. His actions thereby warrant investigation by CPS, and the rescinding of his state visit, under the Counter-Terrorism Act 2015.
