Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Act of 2025

This bill targets the Muslim Brotherhood and related groups. It requires the U.S. government to label the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization and apply sanctions, such as blocking property and transactions, within 90 days of the bill becoming law. It also expands an existing 1987 anti-terrorism law so its prohibitions apply to the Muslim Brotherhood and its branches in the United States.

The Secretary of State must submit a report 90 days after enactment—and every year after—listing Muslim Brotherhood branches and stating whether each one is already designated or meets the criteria to be designated; the President must then impose sanctions within 30 days on those identified. Once imposed, these sanctions must stay in place for at least four years. The bill also bars entry to the United States and revokes visas for foreign members of the Muslim Brotherhood .
