Published | Video Starts at 06:57

In the fall, the United States does designated four far left antifa extremist groups abroad as foreign terrorist organization, denying them access to the U.S. financial system and depriving them of resources they need to carry out attacks. Meanwhile, in this administration alone, OFACT has also sanctioned 17 sham charities and nonprofit organizations for funding High Hamas's terrorist activities and operations. As treasury continues to map and disrupt the flow of funding that enables these entities to operate, no terror organization should delude itself into the belief that its financing lies beyond our reach.
