It’s worth noting there are a number of charges available the the government when prosecuting domestic terrorism, including conspiracy and RICO. Foreign terrorist groups are generally out of our practical reach. I say practical because there are judgments against foreign terror groups and the Great Terrorist, Iran, issued by US courts, but which can’t be collected. When Obama rewarded Iran with cash, he did it in a way that victims in the US couldn’t tap the Iranian funds to collect. Undeserving victims dating back to our Embassy and the attack on the Marine barracks in Beirut up to American terror victims in the mideast. Thanks Barak. But at least the designation of foreign groups allows action against Americans supporting them.

I recall concerns about “unintended consequences”.
