"President Donald Trump signs a Presidential Memorandum in the Oval Office on September 15, 2025, in Washington, D.C. Kevin Dietsch / Getty Images Washington's biggest law firms are issuing memoranda on the implications of NSPM-7, Trump's new national security directive, yet virtually no one in Congress has bothered to say a thing. What little the mainstream media have said about NSPM-7 has so far been wrong, often downplaying it."
"Last Thursday, President Donald Trump issued National SecurityPresidential Memorandum-7 (NSPM-7), titled "Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence." It creates a national strategy to investigate, prosecute, and dismantle organized political violence and domestic terrorism, identifying indicators of a potential domestic terrorist as the expression of "anti-Christian" or "anti-capitalism" or "anti-American" views. NSPM-7 directs the federal government to disrupt groups "before" they result in violent political acts. In other words, pre-crime."
"Sources tell me that NSPM-7 will likely cause the FBI's domestic terrorism watchlist, currently at about 5,000 U.S. citizens, to double in the coming months."
NSPM-7 establishes a national strategy to investigate, prosecute, and dismantle organized political violence and domestic terrorism, using broad ideological indicators such as being "anti-Christian," "anti-capitalism," or "anti-American." The memorandum directs federal agencies to disrupt groups before they commit violent acts, creating a pre-crime posture. Sources indicate the FBI domestic terrorism watchlist, currently about 5,000 U.S. citizens, will likely double. Major Washington law firms have issued guidance to clients about NSPM-7 implications, while congressional leaders have largely not commented and mainstream media coverage has often downplayed the directive.
