Declaring an entity a terrorist organization under U.S. law carries significant legal consequences. Such designations are made by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended, and serve to stigmatize and isolate the designated organization internationally, deter donations or contributions to and economic transactions with the named organization, and heighten public awareness and knowledge of the organization. These designations play a critical role in the fight against terrorism and are an effective means of curtailing support for terrorist activities and pressuring groups to get out of the terrorism business.
Once an organization is designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), it becomes illegal for U.S. persons to knowingly provide material support or resources to the organization. Furthermore, any transaction or dealing by U.S. persons or within the United States involving property in which the designated organization has an interest is prohibited without a license from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Treasury Department.
Designations also have implications for immigration, as any individual who is a member of a “terrorist organization” or who has engaged or engages in terrorism-related activity as defined by the INA is generally considered inadmissible to the United States and is ineligible for most immigration benefits.
It is important to note that an FTO designation can be revoked if the Secretary of State finds that the circumstances that were the basis of the designation have changed in such a manner as to warrant a revocation, or if the national security of the United States warrants a revocation. Additionally, the Secretary of State may revoke a designation at any time. However, the revocation of a designation does not affect any action or proceeding based on conduct committed prior to the effective date of such revocation.
Executive Order 13224 provides another mechanism for the designation of terrorists and terrorist organizations, allowing the U.S. government to block the assets of individuals and entities that commit, or pose a significant risk of committing, acts of terrorism. Once an individual or entity is designated under this executive order, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) takes appropriate action to block the assets of the individual or entity in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons.
These measures are part of a broader strategy to combat terrorism, which includes the prevention of terrorist incidents and the prosecution of those who violate the law.
Not just Antifa, but BLM and Occupy Wall Street, and several others. They are all the same people.............
Agree. Also go after their patrons and the parent organization.
It is a fascist, terrorist mob. Fags and Darien Gap Fat Mamas in Ghillies suits.
Yes. They should have been declared domestic terrorists years ago. I figured they were doing the bidding of the Biden Administration and/ or Democrat Party,thus protected for the last few years.
By the way, any updates on that incident of just a few days ago, when this 20 year old gunman lit a brush fire and killed two firefighters? Funny how that story has already slid out of the news cycle.
No argument from me. Trump discussed it back in 2020. I have no clue why he hasn’t made that declaration already.

The argument is that it is a movement, not an official organization.
one can argue about that. but there are definitely INDIVIDUALS that can be tracked.
Putting it on the list? I don’t know if does much more that saying we did something?

There is a current list of FTO. recent updates.
again, sometimes you have organizations, sometimes individuals /loose organizations.
who is the head of the snake for Antifa?
Totally agree. It’s long past time.
Why? It’s not like anyone will be held accountable...
