President Trump has issued an executive order targeting certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood, a group founded in Egypt nearly a century ago and banned in several countries. The order instructs top United States officials to assess and report on the group's activities, with the possibility of imposing sanctions within 45 days if deemed necessary. These measures could make it illegal to support the group, impose economic penalties, and bar its members from entering the United States. The move follows similar actions in Texas, where the Brotherhood and a major Muslim advocacy group were designated as terrorist and criminal organizations, restricting their activities in the state.
