Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025

# Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** If passed, this bill would require the U.S. government to officially designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. This designation would subject the group to legal restrictions, including potential asset freezes, travel bans for members, and criminal penalties for providing material support. The bill seeks to expand current U.S. counterterrorism policy by formally classifying this organization at the federal level. **Who It Affects:** The designation would primarily affect: individuals identified as Muslim Brotherhood members or affiliates (potentially including restrictions on their U.S.

activities and assets), organizations that provide support to the group, and possibly American Muslims or Muslim advocacy groups that could face increased scrutiny or legal complications if they're associated with the designation. It could also impact U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding countries where the Muslim Brotherhood operates. **Current Status:** The bill (HR 4397) is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House. It was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL). No companion Senate bill has been identified at this time.
