    Based upon a review of the Administrative Record assembled in this 
matter, and in consultation with the Attorney General and the Secretary 
of the Treasury, I have concluded that there is a sufficient factual 
basis to find that the relevant circumstances described in section 219

Brotherhood, The Islamic Group, Islamic Group in Lebanon, al-Fajr 
Forces, The Fajr Forces, al-Fajer Forces, The Dawn Forces, Quwat al-
Fajr).
    Therefore, I hereby designate the aforementioned organization and 
its respective aliases as a Foreign Terrorist Organization pursuant to 
section 219 of the INA.

designation goes into effect upon publication.

    Dated: December 19, 2025.
