The U.S. government has begun drawing up new lists of terrorist organizations without disclosing the identities of the groups to Congress or the American people. interc.pt/4ooeeKd
One of these lists is tied to Trump’s undeclared war in the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean. There are reportedly dozens of groups on the list, but only two — the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua and the Colombian guerrilla group Ejército de Liberación Nacional — are publicly known.
But Trump has also ordered his administration to compile a domestic terrorist list made up of his political foes, despite the fact there is no legal mechanism for labeling exclusively domestic organizations as terrorist groups.
Under Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, or NSPM-7, he instructed his administration to target U.S. progressive groups and their donors as well as political activists who profess undefined anti-American, anti-fascist, or anti-Christian sentiments.
