Trump Weighs Labeling Nonprofits as Terror Linked

“The Trump administration is considering an executive order that would list some nonprofit organizations as having terrorist ties, a move that would suspend their tax-exempt status immediately and could cripple their operations,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Trump officials have been working for months on the order, according to people familiar with the matter. The order is still being deliberated and may end up not being finalized or signed by Trump, the people said.”

“Such an executive order would use an untested tax code section and escalate the administration’s scrutiny of tax-exempt groups, possibly targeting some of Trump’s antagonists and political opponents.”
