US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that the Trump administration is advancing plans to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, citing the group’s ties to Hamas and other extremist factions.
In an interview on the Sid and Friends in the Morning radio program, Rubio confirmed that the process is “in the works” but described significant legal and bureaucratic hurdles. Because the Brotherhood operates through multiple regional branches, each must be formally designated. “All of those things are in the process,” he said. “We have to be very careful, because these things will be challenged in court. You have to show your work like a math problem.”
Rubio noted that before becoming secretary of state, he had not fully appreciated the procedural requirements for such listings, which can be blocked by federal judges issuing nationwide injunctions. “All you need is one federal judge—and there are plenty—that are willing to basically try to run the country from the bench,” he said.
