History

Historical Context

The Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, enacted in response to the Oklahoma City bombing, established frameworks for combating terrorism in the U.S. This law empowered the Department of Justice to investigate affiliations with designated terrorist organizations like Hamas, which has been classified as such since 1997. The implications of these investigations continue to influence political discourse, particularly regarding Rep. Rashida Tlaib's re-election campaign.
