S3 EP5 - US Terrorist Lists: Who Decides and Why It Matters
| by Jason Blazakis
In this episode, Mark Williams speaks with counter-terrorist expert Jason Blazakis, founding director of the Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism about how individuals or groups can wind up on a US government Terrorist List. They discuss the stringent procedures followed to ensure this designation—and the penalties it entails—are justified. They also reflect on how recent changes in those procedures by the Trump administration can lead to their misuse and abuse.
