Section 411 of the USA PATRIOT ACT of 2001 (8 U.S.C. § 1182) authorized the Secretary of State, in consultation with or upon the request of the Attorney General, to designate terrorist organizations for immigration purposes. This authority is known as the “Terrorist Exclusion List (TEL)” authority. A TEL designation bolsters homeland security efforts by facilitating the USG’s ability to exclude aliens associated with entities on the TEL from entering the United States.

An organization can be placed on the TEL if the Secretary of State finds that the organization:

1. commits or incites to commit, under circumstances indicating an intention to cause death
   or serious bodily injury, a terrorist activity;
2. prepares or plans a terrorist activity;
3. gathers information on potential targets for terrorist activity; or
4. provides material support to further terrorist activity.
