The Trump administration designated three branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations on Tuesday and imposed new sanctions in an effort to curb the Islamic extremist group. The administration singled out the Lebanese branch for the harshest designation, labeling it a Foreign Terrorist Organization, a classification that criminalizes any material support under federal law. The Jordanian and Egyptian branches were designated as global terrorist entities for their support for Hamas, which the United States also classifies as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. “These designations reflect the opening actions of an ongoing, sustained effort to thwart Muslim Brotherhood chapters’ violence and destabilization wherever it occurs,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement. “The United States will use all available tools to deprive these Muslim Brotherhood chapters of the resources to engage in or support terrorism.” In November, Trump signed an executive order paving the way for his administration to classify certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters as terrorist organizations. He said that “final documents are being drawn” for the designation to be “done in the strongest and most powerful terms.” Trump’s executive order states that the Lebanese chapter joined Hamas and Hezbollah and other Palestinian factions to launch rockets at both civilians and military targets in Israel. It listed the Egyptian chapter as calling for “violent attacks against United States partners and interests” and the Jordanian chapter’s leaders as providing “material support to the militant wing of Hamas.” “Such activities threaten the security of American civilians in the Levant and other parts of the Middle East, as well as the safety and stability of our regional partners,” the order said. The move comes after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued state-level orders in late 2025 labeling both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations. CAIR, which describes itself as the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy group in the United States, responded by suing both state governments and declaring that it does not support terrorism. Following DeSantis’s declaration, the group accused the Florida governor of being “Israel first.” Abbott called on the Trump administration to strip CAIR of its tax-exempt status for its alleged ties to foreign terrorist organizations. He argued that federal investigators and court filings have identified CAIR as “a direct subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood” and as a “front group” for Hamas in the United States. He also cited a recent report that claims CAIR awarded $1,000 cash grants to college students who disrupted classes and intimidated or harassed fellow students “while celebrating Hamas’s October 7th attack.”  The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928. Its founder, Hassan al-Banna, spoke openly about fighting non-Muslims through jihad and wrote that “Jihad is an obligation from Allah and every Muslim and cannot be ignored nor evaded.” Egypt banned the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013, and Jordan followed in April 2025.

President Donald Trump ended temporary protected status for thousands of Somalis living in the United States, ordering them to leave the country by March 17. “Temporary means temporary,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News Digital Tuesday. “Country conditions in Somalia have improved to the point that it no longer meets the law’s requirement for Temporary Protected Status.” “Further, allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests,” Noem said. “We are putting Americans first.” Roughly 2,471 Somali nationals currently live in the U.S. under temporary protected status, according to Fox. An estimated 600 of them are living in Minnesota. ONE WAY TICKET DHS is ENDING Temporary Protected Status for Somalians in the United States. Our message is clear. Go back to your own country, or we’ll send you back ourselves. pic.twitter.com/moTA5BnCpM — Homeland Security (@DHSgov) January 13, 2026 There are also 1,383 Somalis living in the country with pending applications for temporary protected status, the outlet reported. If Somalis who are subject to the order refuse to leave the United States by March, they will likely become targets of federal immigration authorities. The policy change comes just one day after Minneapolis and St. Paul announced a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its mass deportation sweeps in Minnesota. The lawsuit seeks to “end the unlawful, unprecedented surge of the federal law enforcement agents into Minnesota,” state Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a press conference on Monday. “The obvious targeting of Minnesota for our diversity, for our democracy, and our differences of opinion with the federal government is a violation of the Constitution and of federal law,” he said. The feud between the Trump administration and officials in Minnesota boiled over after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good, who was reportedly tied to a radical ICE Watch organization tracking the agency’s whereabouts. The president has accused Good of committing an act of “domestic terrorism” after she was seen in footage blocking a road the ICE agents were trying to pass through before she ignored their commands to get out of the car. Good was then seen putting her car in reverse and backing up, before driving forward. One video appears to show the agent taking a hit as he stood in front of the vehicle before shots were fired. The Trump administration has also zeroed in on Minnesota’s Somali community after federal authorities revealed last month that an estimated $9 billion in taxpayer funds may have been stolen as part of a massive fraud campaign that’s largely been tied to the population. The fraudsters are accused of funneling cash from state welfare programs through fake nonprofits and shell companies back to Somalia — and even Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab, City Journal reported last month.
