Interpol has files on US criminals. Nothing new. In theory, if not in practice, they do no have arrest powers. They can issue an international arrest warrant but it has to be enforced by a member country.

Interpol functions largely as an information gathering and circulating center re crime around the world. Their functions may have been expanded due to the spread of terrorism, but they are pretty good guys.

The key feature of this Ex. Order is that it protects international organizations from search and seizure in the US. This is a backdoor way of allowing terrorist-support groups to function unhindered if they can pose as a group who avoids the descriptions of terrorist support groups. This could include some so-called “human rights” groups, esp. those recognized by the UN as NGO’s (Non-governmental Organizations), key terrorism support/propaganda arms operations.

I agree. In fact, the US can't control what files may exist on US citizens outside our borders, unless they are in a nation that cooperates with us.
