Treasury Sanctions 3 Far-Left Networks, Labels Palestine Action a Terrorist Group

Summary
Three international networks were hit with U.S. sanctions on Thursday, with Treasury designating U.K.-based Palestine Action a terrorist group and also targeting Italy’s Autistici Inventati and Spain’s Masar Badil.
The measures block any U.S.-linked property and bank accounts and bar Americans from transacting with the groups, part of the Trump administration’s broader push against politically motivated violence.
Treasury said Autistici Inventati supplied digital infrastructure to violent left-wing extremists, while Masar Badil acted as a front for Samidoun, which the U.S. and Canada sanctioned in 2024 over alleged fundraising for the PFLP.
Palestine Action, founded in 2020, was already banned in the U.K.; British officials have linked it to more than $1.3 million in damage at an Elbit Systems facility.
The move follows a wider interagency campaign that has included a new State Department report, a Justice Department probe tied to alleged Palestine Action funding, and scrutiny of activist networks that officials say blur advocacy and support for violence.
