  • Hong Kong-related Designations Updates and Removals

    The national emergency declared in Executive Order (E.O.) 13936 of July 14, 2020, “The President’s Executive Order on Hong Kong Normalization,” has expired. The expiration of the national emergency declared in E.O. 13936 does not repeal or otherwise affect the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 (HKHRDA) or the Hong Kong Autonomy Act (HKAA) of 2020. Those statutes remain in effect.

    Following the expiration of the national emergency declared in E.O. 13936, OFAC has removed from the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN List), persons designated pursuant to E.O. 13936 whose property had been blocked solely pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Persons that remain sanctioned pursuant to the HKAA have been added to OFAC’s Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions List (NS-MBS List) and assets blocked prior to July 14, 2026, remain blocked.

    In addition to the above changes to OFAC’s sanctions lists, OFAC intends to publish an amendment to the Hong Kong-Related Sanctions Regulations, 31 CFR part 585, in a future Federal Register publication to reflect the expiration of the national emergency.

    In light of the expiration of the national emergency declared in E.O. 13936, OFAC is also reviewing relevant FAQs and guidance associated with our Hong-Kong-related sanctions program and will update this website in the near term.

    As a result, OFAC has updated its Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List), and the Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions List (NS-MBS List).

    Additions:

    The following individuals have been added to OFAC’s Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions List:

  • It’s FAQ 1263:

    1263. Does General License (GL) 60 require that payments to the Government of Venezuela be made into the Foreign Government Deposit Funds Account (FGDF)?

    Answer

    No. GL 60 authorizes all transactions related to earthquake relief efforts in Venezuela under the Venezuela Sanctions Regulations, which includes payment of taxes, tolls, and fees to the Government of Venezuela connected with such relief efforts. Payments related to earthquake relief that are authorized by GL 60 do not need to be paid into the FGDF.

    However, the requirements under other Venezuela-related GLs, such as GLs 46C, 48B, 49A, 50B, 51B, 52A, and 54A, remain in place. Payments for activities outside of the scope of GL 60 but authorized under other Venezuela-related GLs that contain the FGDF payment requirement must continue to be paid into the FGDF and may not be recharacterized as earthquake relief or otherwise modified for the purpose of avoiding payment into the FGDF.

  • UK Gov logo, 50% resolution.png\

    Today, Friday 17 July , the UK Government has designated the following 6 individuals and 2 entities under the Democratic Republic of the Congo Sanctions Regime. This reflects the decision to designate these individuals made by the UN Security Council Sanctions Committee pursuant to Resolution 1533 (2004) on 14 July. 

    Additionally, the following entity has been revoked under the Libya Sanctions Regime

    Here’s the DRC Sanctions Notice:

    and the Libya one:

    The notice also included a link to the UN press release… but if you’re already a reader, you saw it here already, right?

  • If you read through LinkedIn or Bluesky auto-posting, you will not have noticed 2 recent changes to existing posts:

    • The post announcing the UN’s new DRC listings was updated to also include Canada’s adoption of the changes the same day
    • And the post that carried the US State Department about the FTO and SDGT designations of La Viagras and the Juarez Cartel mistakenly said it preceded changes by OFAC. In this case, on Wednesday at about 11:20 AM, OFAC did update those two designations, although the title of the Recent Actions post did not say that designations were being updated (yes, technically, an existing ILLICIT DRUGS E.O. was added to the FTO and SDGT programs making them “new” designations). And the State Department notice came out over 25 hours later, at about 12:30 PM yesterday (all times Eastern). My friend Yoshi tells me that this sort of delay, while much larger than typical post-designation PR by State, is typical. You live and you learn, I guess.

  • Terrorist Designations of the Juárez Cartel and Los Viagras

    PRESS STATEMENT

    MARCO RUBIO, SECRETARY OF STATE

    JULY 16, 2026

    Today, the U.S. Department of State is designating the Juárez Cartel and Los Viagras as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs). 

    The Juárez Cartel and Los Viagras are violent narco-terrorist cartels that have committed numerous attacks against Americans, Mexican security forces, and civilians, including the 2019 massacre in Sonora of nine U.S. citizens – three adults and six children – killed by hitmen from the Juárez Cartel’s dominant faction La Línea.

    The Trump Administration will continue to use all available tools to protect our nation by keeping poison off our streets and disrupting the revenue streams funding violent narco-terrorists.  Today’s action taken by the State Department further demonstrates that the Trump Administration continues to deliver on its promises to the American people to dismantle narco-terrorist cartels, make American communities safer, and secure the border.

    Terrorist designations expose and isolate entities and individuals, denying them access to the U.S. financial system and the resources they need to carry out attacks.  As a result of actions taken today, all property and interests in property of those designated today that are in the United States or that are in possession or control of a U.S. person are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with them.  Moreover, designations can assist law enforcement actions of other U.S. agencies and governments.

    Today’s actions are taken pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and Executive Order 13224. Foreign Terrorist Organization designations go into effect upon publication in the Federal Register.  

    Normally, these State Department updates appear within a few hours of the OFAC action. So, I thought this was a State Department jumping the gun.

    well, no… Wednesday’s OFAC designations updated those two organizations with the FTO and SDGT tags, but didn’t have a PR about that part of the action… and the title of the Recent Actions piece didn’t event mention that there were designation updates.

    And the timing… State Department PR today at 12:22 PM, OFAC action 11:32 AM on Wednesday…

    Visa Restriction Policy Targeting Far-Left Terrorist and Other Aligned Groups

    PRESS STATEMENT

    MARCO RUBIO, SECRETARY OF STATE

    JULY 16, 2026

    Far-left terrorist and aligned groups often use sophisticated, organized networks to perpetrate violence as a political tool – seeking to implement an extreme political vision through intimidation and coordinated campaigns of terror. It is a strategy that explicitly aims to undermine the political foundations of free and self-governing societies, utilizing bombings, assassinations, and other forms of terrorism to silence speech, limit political opposition, change policy outcomes, and sabotage political processes.

    Today, in support of National Security Presidential Memorandum-7 and ongoing U.S. Government efforts to disrupt networks fomenting political violence before they escalate to criminal action, the Department of State is announcing a new visa restriction policy that targets members of Far-Left Terrorist and other aligned groups who have supported or incited acts of terrorism; supported violent criminal activity; participated in economic sabotage; financed, recruited, or provided logistical support for violent or criminal actions committed by Far-Left Terrorist and other aligned groups; and/or facilitated the convergence of Far-Left Terrorist and other aligned networks for the purposes of violent action.

    This policy will safeguard the American homeland by restricting entry of foreign nationals who finance, recruit, incite, or otherwise enable terrorist, violent, and criminal Far-Left Terrorist networks – closing the visa pathways that Far-Left Terrorists and other aligned groups exploit to threaten American lives, undermine economic stability, and coordinate violent action on U.S. soil.

    These actions are being taken pursuant to Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

    UK sanctions illicit gold networks fuelling Sudan’s war amid crisis around El Obeid

    The UK has sanctioned those suspected of being linked to financing, procurement, and commercial networks fuelling the Sudan conflict.From:Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and The Rt Hon Yvette Cooper MPPublished:16 July 2026

    • UK announces Sudan sanctions package targeting illicit gold and finance networks sustaining the war
    •  UK calls for UN arms embargo to cover El Obeid as city on the precipice of major atrocity 
    • Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper says UK will tackle those fuelling the conflict.

    The UK has today announced sanctions targeting the conflict gold trade in Sudan, procurement networks and financial facilitators that are fuelling Sudan’s war.

    Sudan’s booming gold industry is the engine of its war economy. While official gold exports were worth $1.5 billion in 2024 and 2025, the true value of the sector is estimated to be several times higher, with billions of dollars’ worth of gold smuggled out of Sudan each year through illicit channels, helping finance weapons procurement, military operations and the activities of armed groups.

    These measures target eleven individuals and entities suspected of being linked to the financing, procurement and commercial networks supporting the RSF or the SAF and fuelling Sudan’s conflict. All are Sudanese but they trade internationally including in the gold markets in Dubai and Hong Kong. 

    At the centre of the package is Sudanese national Abu Dharr, suspected of being a notorious RSF financier and procurement facilitator. He is suspected of having helped fund and sustain RSF operations from beyond Sudan’s borders through a web of real estate, conflict gold, and holding companies based in Dubai.

    Vast quantities of Sudanese gold continue to be monetised before entering global markets, making it a critical gateway for revenues generated by Sudan’s illicit gold sector.

    By targeting these companies and facilitators, the UK is exposing and disrupting key commercial networks that help convert Sudan’s gold wealth into revenue that sustains the conflict.

    Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper said:

    “The people of Sudan continue to pay the price for a war fuelled not only by guns and fighters, but by illicit flows of gold and finance to fill the war chests on both sides. These sanctions are targeting Sudan’s war economy and they will shine a light on those who seek to profit from these illegal shadow networks. 

    “As the world watches the deeply alarming build-up around El Obeid, we continue to call on the RSF to halt their assault. And we are making clear that those enabling atrocities, from the battlefield to the boardroom, will be held accountable.”

    The sanctions come as the UK and international partners are on red alert, monitoring the deteriorating situation in El Obeid, where the RSF is building up surge forces around a city already under immense humanitarian pressure.  

    The UK has warned that El Obeid is at risk of becoming the scene of another mass atrocity, following the horrors witnessed in El Fasher. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper has called for the UN arms embargo to be extended to reach El Obeid.

    Illicit gold will be a priority theme at the UK’s Illicit Finance Summit, due to take place in London in December 2026. The Summit will bring together governments, civil society and the private sector to build an international coalition to tackle flows of dirty money around the world, including the trade in illicit gold.
