Patriot Act Terrorist Exclusion List
The Patriot Act Terrorist Exclusion List (TEL) was a list created by the United States Secretary of State under the authority of Section 411 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (8 U.S.C. § 1182), in consultation with or upon the request of the Attorney General, to designate an organization as a terrorist organization for immigration purposes. The Secretary of State can use classified and/or unclassified information available to the Secretary that a group has committed, or provided material support to further, terrorist acts. A TEL designation attempts to bolster homeland security efforts by allowing the US government to exclude from entry into the United States or to deport aliens associated with entities on the TEL. The list was updated on November 5, 2020, when the U.S. Department of State removed the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM) from the TEL. This was the first update since 2014. TEL is one of four primary counter-terrorism lists established by the US government, the others ...

United States Secretary Of State
The United States secretary of state is a member of the executive branch of the federal government of the United States and the head of the U.S. Department of State. The office holder is one of the highest ranking members of the president's Cabinet, and ranks the first in the U.S. presidential line of succession among Cabinet secretaries. Created in 1789 with Thomas Jefferson as its first office holder, the secretary of state represents the United States to foreign countries, and is therefore considered analogous to a foreign minister in other countries.

Anarchist Faction For Overthrow
Anarchism is a political philosophy and movement that is skeptical of all justifications for authority and seeks to abolish the institutions it claims maintain unnecessary coercion and hierarchy, typically including, though not necessarily limited to, governments, nation states, and capitalism. Anarchism advocates for the replacement of the state with stateless societies or other forms of free associations. As a historically left-wing movement, usually placed on the farthest left of the political spectrum, it is usually described alongside communalism and libertarian Marxism as the libertarian wing ( libertarian socialism) of the socialist movement. Humans lived in societies without formal hierarchies long before the establishment of formal states, realms, or empires. With the rise of organised hierarchical bodies, scepticism toward authority also rose. Although traces of anarchist thought are found throughout history, modern anarchism emerged from the Enli ...
