This week, House Republicans included a troubling provision in their new tax bill that could allow the Trump administration to label and target certain nonprofits as "terrorist-supporting organizations," jeopardizing their tax-exempt status. This move follows a pattern of using the "terrorist" label to delegitimize and negatively impact various groups, including student activists and migrants. The bill could fast-track this authority, raising alarms about the potential for misuse against organizations that oppose the president's policies, thereby threatening civil society's operational viability.
The Trump administration has wielded the "terrorist" label to stigmatize and strip rights from student activists and migrants, using unsubstantiated evidence to justify its actions.
Congress is poised to fast-track a bill granting the executive branch authority to label and incapacitate political opponents as supporters of terrorism, presenting a significant threat to nonprofits.
