Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025
To require the President to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, to direct the Secretary of State to submit a report to Congress regarding such designation, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB4397, proposes to mandate the President to classify the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. If passed, it would require the Secretary of State to provide a report to Congress about this designation. The bill was introduced on July 15, 2025, and has since been referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on the Judiciary for consideration. On December 3, 2025, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the House Committee on the Judiciary held a joint mark-up session and passed the bill in the nature of a substitute, with a vote of 35 in favor and 14 against.
The bill would primarily impact the Muslim Brotherhood organization and potentially individuals or entities associated with it. The designation as a foreign terrorist organization could lead to stricter regulations and restrictions on their activities. This bill is currently in the committee stage, meaning it is still under review and discussion in Congress.
Recent key actions include the introduction of the bill and its referral to relevant committees on July 15, 2025, followed by committee consideration and a mark-up session on December 3, 2025. The bill has passed its committee stage and is now ready for further legislative action.
