Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence (National Security Presidential Memorandum/NSPM-7)
Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence. Presidential Memoranda. September 25, 2025. NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL MEMORANDUM/NSPM-7. MEMORANDUM FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE, THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY, THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, THE SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY. SUBJECT: Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence. This political violence is not a series of isolated incidents and does not emerge organically. A new law enforcement strategy that investigates all participants in these criminal and terroristic conspiracies — including the organized structures, networks, entities, organizations, funding sources, and predicate actions behind them — is required. There are common recurrent motivations and indicia uniting this pattern of violent and terroristic activities under the umbrella of self-described anti-fascism. As described in the Order of September 22, 2025 (Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization), the groups and entities that perpetuate this extremism have created a movement that embraces and elevates violence to achieve policy outcomes. The Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary), in coordination with the Attorney General, shall make available all resources, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to identify and disrupt financial networks that fund domestic terrorism and political violence. The Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (Commissioner) shall take action to ensure that no tax-exempt entities are directly or indirectly financing political violence or domestic terrorism. The Attorney General may recommend that any group or entity whose members are engaged in activities meeting the definition of domestic terrorism in 18 U.S.C. 2331(5) merits designation as a domestic terrorist organization. The Attorney General shall submit a list of any such groups or entities to the President through the Assistant to the President and Homeland Security Advisor. The Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall designate domestic terrorism a national priority area and develop appropriate grant programs to allocate funding for law enforcement partners. DONALD J. TRUMP.
