Terrorist Designations of The Terrorgram Collective and Three Leaders

The United States remains deeply concerned about the racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist (REMVE) threat worldwide and committed to countering transnational components of violent white supremacism.

Today, the Department of State is designating The Terrorgram Collective (Terrorgram) and three of its leaders as Specially Designated Global Terrorists pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, as amended.

Terrorgram is a transnational terrorist group that primarily operates on the social media and digital messaging platform Telegram. The group promotes violent white supremacism, solicits attacks on perceived adversaries, and provides guidance and instructional materials on tactics, methods, and targets for attacks, including on critical infrastructure and government officials. The group also glorifies those who have conducted such attacks.

Attacks or attempted attacks by Terrorgram users motivated and facilitated by the group include an October 2022 shooting outside an LGBTQI+ bar in Slovakia; a July 2024 planned attack on energy facilities in New Jersey; and an August 2024 knife attack at a mosque in Türkiye. In September 2024, DOJ 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.
