Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Polisario Front Terrorist Designation Act of 2026

Key claim: A newly introduced Senate bill would designate the Polisario Front as a terrorist organization.

Abstract

(S4063 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-03-11): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

Why this matters

An FTO designation of the Polisario Front would automatically extend U.S. material-support prohibitions, asset blocking, and export-license denials to any person or entity dealing with the group, affecting humanitarian, commercial, and diplomatic trade flows in the western Sahara/Maghreb region. The introduction of a Senate companion signals bicameral momentum on a designation that has, until now, moved only in the House.
