Trump Signs Executive Order To Designate Muslim Brotherhood Chapters As Foreign Terrorist

Update (2010ET):

A little more than one day after Just The News published John Solomon's exclusive interview in which President Trump confirmed plans to designate the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO), the White House formally announced on Monday evening that the president has initiated the process to classify specific chapters and subdivisions of MB as FTOs. 

Trump's order cites MB's violent activities and support for militant factions, including participation in attacks on Israeli civilians and military targets after October 7, 2023, as well as calls for violence against U.S. allies. These actions, the order says, threaten American citizens and destabilize the Middle East.

Here's what Trump ordered:

Within 30 days:

  • The Secretaries of State and Treasury must deliver a joint report to the President, recommending which Muslim Brotherhood chapters should be designated under FTO and SDGT authorities.

Within 45 days after the report:

  • The Secretary of State or the Treasury must take appropriate legal steps to finalize those designations.

On X, Dr. Sebastian Gorka, Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Counterterrorism at the White House, announced, "History has been made."

"Just moments ago, in the presence of my NSC colleague who helped author the Executive Order, President Trump designated multiple chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood, including the Egyptian branch which is the progenitor of all modern Jihadists, al Qaeda, ISIS and Hamas included," Gorka said, adding, "As we left the Oval, President Trump explicitly instructed us to inform the World of his tectonic act."

Seems like these folks do not want to assimilate... 

Let's not forget that former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams has warned that the Biden-Harris regime's open southern border allowed an estimated "10,000 foreign Islamist terrorists" to enter the country.

John Solomon's Just The News reports, in an exclusive interview with President Trump on Sunday morning, that the president will formally designate the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) as a foreign terrorist organization.

Trump explained that the MB's FTO designation will be imminent and drafted "in the strongest and most powerful terms," adding, "Final documents are being drawn."

MB was founded in Egypt nearly a century ago with branches across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the U.S. The org has been outlawed or labeled a terrorist group by several governments, including Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Bahrain. 

Trump has weighed the FTO designation since his first term, and his comments come days after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton designated the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as an FTO and transnational criminal organization.

Abbott's proclamation authorized "heightened penalties" against CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood and prohibited both entities from acquiring land in Texas, alleging that CAIR had "repeatedly employed, affiliated with, and supported individuals promoting terrorism-related activities."

GOP officials, including Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), have requested that the Treasury Department probe CAIR's financial networks.

In August, Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that the FTO designation was being prepared, though the process is complex because of MB's sprawling network of affiliates.

Bipartisan lawmakers in both chambers have urged Rubio and the State Department to move forward with the FTO designations. Sen. Ted Cruz has warned that MB supports terrorist orgs such as Hamas.

As we've previously reported:

"To this day, the IRS hasn't stripped Muslim Brotherhood 501 (c) (3) s of their tax-deductible status. Jihadi is getting a tax deduction on U.S. soil," Laura Loomer wrote on X while responding to Solomon's exclusive interview earlier today.

Oh boy... 

Things are about to get very interesting.
