Can’t read the source article, we’re anti terror laws used for these arrests? Or have German police long had these sort of powers?

I guess their activities fall under some weak definition of terrorism, intimidation against civilians in pursuit of political aims.

I don't have the article open anymore, but yes it did say they were being detained under laws originally written to target terrorists.
