The leaders of the terrorist group, based in Brazil, Croatia, and South Africa, were also designated.
The U.S. State Department designated the Terrorgram Collective and three of its leaders as Specially Designated Global Terrorists on Monday. The leaders of the transnational terrorist group are based in Brazil, Croatia, and South Africa. The group promotes violence through the social media messaging platform Telegram.
State Department Spokesman Matthew Miller said, “In September 2024, the Department of Justice charged two U.S. Terrorgram leaders with a 15-count indictment for soliciting hate crimes, soliciting the murder of federal officials, and conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.”
He added, “The United States remains deeply concerned about the racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist threat worldwide and is committed to countering transnational components of violent white supremacism.”
