This means their assets can be frozen, and Americans are banned from dealing with them to protect national security. These actions take effect immediately, aiming to stop their harmful activities and cut off their money flow.

Groups designated; blocking measures authorized
On May 28, 2026, the U.S. Secretary of State designated Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC) and Comando Vermelho (Red Command) as Specially Designated Global Terrorists under Executive Order 13224. The determination references the "blocking and other measures authorized in the Order," meaning those measures may be applied to these groups and dealings with them are restricted. The determination was published in the Federal Register on June 5, 2026.
No prior notice for persons with U.S. presence
The Department determined that no prior notice will be given to any person subject to this determination who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, because prior notice could make the blocking and other measures ineffective. That determination was signed May 28, 2026 and published June 5, 2026.
