By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act (Public Law 114-328) (the “Act”), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)) (INA), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that the prevalence and severity of human rights abuse and corruption that have their source, in whole or in substantial part, outside the United States, such as those committed or directed by persons listed in the Annex to this order, have reached such scope and gravity that they threaten the stability of international political and economic systems. Human rights abuse and corruption undermine the values that form an essential foundation of stable, secure, and functioning societies; have devastating impacts on individuals; weaken democratic institutions; degrade the rule of law; perpetuate violent conflicts; facilitate the activities of dangerous persons; and undermine economic markets. The United States seeks to impose tangible and significant consequences on those who commit serious human rights abuse or engage in corruption, as well as to protect the financial system of the United States from abuse by these same persons.
I therefore determine that serious human rights abuse and corruption around the world constitute an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat.
I hereby determine and order:
Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession or control of any United States person of the following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in:
(i) the persons listed in the Annex to this order;
(ii) any foreign person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General:
(A) to be responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly engaged in, serious human rights abuse;
(B) to be a current or former government official, or a person acting for or on behalf of such an official, who is responsible for or complicit in, or has directly or indirectly engaged in:
(1) corruption, including the misappropriation of state assets, the expropriation of private assets for personal gain, corruption related to government contracts or the extraction of natural resources, or bribery; or
(2) the transfer or the facilitation of the transfer of the proceeds of corruption;
(C) to be or have been a leader or official of:
(1) an entity, including any government entity, that has engaged in, or whose members have engaged in, any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section relating to the leader’s or official’s tenure; or
(2) an entity whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order as a result of activities related to the leader’s or official’s tenure; or
(D) to have attempted to engage in any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section; and
(iii) any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General:
(A) to have materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support for, or goods or services to or in support of:
(1) any activity described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section that is conducted by a foreign person;
(2) any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or
(3) any entity, including any government entity, that has engaged in, or whose members have engaged in, any of the activities described in subsections (ii)(A), (ii)(B)(1), or (ii)(B)(2) of this section, where the activity is conducted by a foreign person;
(B) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; or
(C) to have attempted to engage in any of the activities described in subsections (iii)(A) or (B) of this section.
(b) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section apply except to the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted before the effective date of this order.
Sec. 2. The unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens determined to meet one or more of the criteria in section 1 of this order would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and the entry of such persons into the United States, as immigrants or nonimmigrants, is hereby suspended. Such persons shall be treated as persons covered by section 1 of Proclamation 8693 of July 24, 2011 (Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to United Nations Security Council Travel Bans and International Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions).
Sec. 3. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the types of articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in this order, and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this order.
Sec. 4. The prohibitions in section 1 include:
(a) the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order; and
(b) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services from any such person.
Sec. 5. (a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading or avoiding, causes a violation of, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited.
Sec. 6. For the purposes of this order:
(a) the term “person” means an individual or entity;
(b) the term “entity” means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization; and
So, when is the left going to rattle their lap-dog courts leash to “nullify” this EO of Trump’s? I think they could get their “courts” to nullify Trump having his breakfast if they wanted to.
It feels like he took them so off guard that they are steal reeling.
Looks like the CFPB is the ideal tool to deconstruct the various rouge agencies.
1. White House budget boss Mick Mulvaney moved quickly Monday to rein in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, imposing a 30-day hiring freeze and other new rules as the fight over who’s really in charge of the agency heads to court.
2. Mulvaney said he was surprised at the unchecked powers afforded to the bureau – including his.
3. “I am just finding out about the powers I have as acting director and they would frighten most of you,” he said. “It’s frightening to think about how little oversight Congress has over me now as I am the director.”
4..When Cordray's "appointed" director Leandra English came in the next morning, she found her belongings moved out of the directors' office and her badge wouldn't even work to get into the directors hallway, she had been removed from director email access as well. The "coup" folks were caught completely off guard as they never thought Trump/Mulvaney would do something so brazen
5. Mulvaney is off to a great start, but before we eliminate the CFPB, let’s use it for a couple years — maybe sic them on Mueller (he must be at least peripherally involved in financial things), and Soros, and Move On, and a bunch of things. Then we can get rid of the whole things once we’ve used it.
6. (From Wikipedia)....A 2013 press release from the United States House Financial Services Committee criticized the CFPB for what was described as a "radical structure" that "is controlled by a single individual who cannot be fired for poor performance and who exercises sole control over the agency, its hiring and its budget." Moreover, the committee alleged a lack of financial transparency and a lack of accountability to Congress or the President
Looks like the CFPB is the ideal tool to deconstruct the various rouge agencies.

Interesting. Thanks for the ping, ma.
I’m ok with that!
:: Due process? What’s that? ::
Something not needed for foreign nationals:
I hereby declare a ^^national emergency^^ to deal with that threat.
It also gives leverage to the US withholding of funds (ref: recent UN decisions) to those countries who do not deal with those on the list.
How much money do we send Gambia?

It truly does look like this could be about taking out the Clintons
Quite the list. Thank you.
I’m still reeling. First read this right before bed and after an Ambien last night and I half expected DC air traffic out of country to be non-stop this AM.
Is this EO an expansion on AG’s AFLs?
I would start with The Clinton Foundation, and her ties to George Soros, Qatar, and former Saudi Arabia King Abdulla.
Planned Parenthood’s baby parts, human rights abuses, which should mean their funds, assets, and everything else could be seized. That may be the intent of this Executive Order. Then move to HRC/Foundation...sex trafficking came out of the illegal immigrant youth, who rode trains here.
This is broad order, that could solve a lot of human rights issues, human trafficking of sex perverts, and body parts. The Oregon group, tied to LV shooter and Hillary, sold body parts.
The Q stuff is fascinating. says one day that they have a 'very special place' picked out for Soros and the next day the President uses that same phrase when asked about Camp David. Bread crumbs galore.
I'm looking forward to 12/27. Seems something significant is supposed to go down.
Better than any Vince Flynn novel.
I don’t think this is they way they take popes out. But it would be nice to see some of the Vatican’s ill-gotten gains repatriated
.
Thank you for adding that info.
Excellent!
Best Christmas EVER!
It’s asif Trump has surreptitiously comendeered the enemies sandbagged 50 cal nest and has, much to their chigrin, turned it on them and now grinning widely as he mows em all down.
I’m expecting him to toss in a grenade after leaping out to chase after the stragglers.
No...they just poison him in the middle of the night and call it a heart attack.
