U.S. Designates White Supremacist Group Terrorgram Collective as Terrorist Organization

The State Department's move blocks the group's U.S. assets and targets its leaders for promoting racially motivated violence and attacks.

The U.S. State Department has officially designated the Terrorgram Collective, an online white supremacist group, as a terrorist organization under Executive Order 13224.
The group operates primarily on Telegram and has been linked to multiple violent incidents, including attacks in Slovakia, New Jersey, and Turkey.
Three international leaders of the group, based in Brazil, Croatia, and South Africa, were sanctioned as Specially Designated Global Terrorists, isolating them from the U.S. financial system.
Two U.S.-based leaders were charged in September 2024 with soliciting hate crimes, conspiring to support terrorism, and inciting violence through online materials.
The designation follows similar action by the U.K. in April 2024, which criminalized membership in the group with penalties of up to 14 years in prison.
