(WCIV) U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace announced Tuesday the filing of a bill that would designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization within the country.
According to a news release from Mace’s office, the Muslim Brotherhood Is a Terrorist Organization Act would activate critical national security tools — financial sanctions, asset freezes, travel bans and targeted law enforcement — to dismantle the group’s operations within the United States and globally.
“The Muslim Brotherhood doesn’t just support terrorism, it inspires it,” Mace said. “President Trump was right when he said the Muslim Brotherhood is a threat to global security, and it’s long past time we call them what they are: terrorists.”
