State Department Invokes Foreign-Policy Clause To Bar Far-Left Terror Financiers

Secretary Rubio unveiled the rule at a 67-country ministerial, months after Washington named four European far-left groups terrorist organizations.

  • Section 212(a)(3)(C) lets the State Department deny entry on foreign-policy grounds, no crime required.
  • Since November the US designated Antifa Ost and three other European groups as terrorist organizations.
  • Washington offers rewards up to $10 million for information on the groups' financing networks.

Why it matters: No court, no conviction: the State Department's own finding is enough to bar an entry.
