 - any group practicing, or which has significant subgroups which practice, international terrorism. DOS terrorist organization- (1) (U) Terrorist organization, includes both designated terrorist organizations and undesignated terrorist organizations -(a) An organization designated by the Secretary of State as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) under INA. This designation has implications beyond the INA, including penalties under U.S. criminal law. Aliens who engage in certain activities in connection with these organizations can be rendered inadmissible under the INA. Organizations currently designated as FTOs and information about the designation process can be found on the S/ CT website. (b) An organization designated by the Secretary of State for inclusion in the Terrorist Exclusion List (TEL). The TEL designation is for immigration purposes only. Information about the designation process can be found on the S/ CT website. (c) An organization that has not been designated but is a group of two or more individuals, whether organized or not, that engages in, or has a subgroup that engages in, terrorist activities. With respect to undesignated terrorist organizations- (iii) Where a finding of inadmissibility would involve an undesignated terrorist organization, the alien may overcome the finding by demonstrating, by clear and convincing evidence, that the alien did not know, and should not reasonably have known, that the organization was a terrorist organization (except with respect to representatives of undesignated terrorist organizations, those who persuade others to support an undesignated terrorist organization, and those who receive military-type training on behalf of an undesignated terrorist organization, for whom there is no such defense).
