Abstract

The note examines the U.S. government's use of blocking orders against charitable organizations suspected of supporting terrorism, arguing that while such orders are effective in disrupting terrorist financing, they raise significant concerns about due process, transparency, and the equitable treatment of Muslim-American donors. The author advocates for a shift toward criminal prosecution as a more effective and equitable strategy, balancing national security with civil liberties.
