In Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis designated specific groups as terrorist organizations under a new state law.

The decision affects the designated organizations, Florida residents, and state institutions responsible for enforcing the policy. The designations trade state power to hold groups accountable against due process protections for organizations facing the labels.

Readers must judge whether DeSantis’s designations should stand despite those due-process concerns; the current procedural account identifies no court challenge or other next step.
