What would the US have done if an Iranian immigrant had donated money to the war effort of the insurgency during the Iraq and Afghan wars? Serious question. Would they get arrested? Is that some sort of crime? hmm…
Ahh yes, the insurgency, those horrible terrorists fighting against a military that fabricated evidence to invade their countries. Just like how Ukraine is controlled by Nazis.
Nah, now that I have been reading for a while all sorts of things would happen. Tracking them and their entire family, coworkers, friends, etc. Stopping them from interfacing with financial institutions, incarceration without charges, etc.
So far, largely reading leaked documents after searching for Terry Albury, who I came across from making a number of more general searches like “Is it illegal for US citizen to donate to enemy combatants”, which it is. A number of different pieces of legislation makes it so in a multitude of ways. Things like US 18 4001a (2000), the trading with the enemies acts of 1917, The National Defense Act PL 112-18, and more that I haven’t gotten to yet.
Laws aren’t important unless they are enforced. So again I say, nothing will happen. Provide an answer example of a similar situation where a person gave $51 to the taliban or isis and went to jail with no other charges.
This is a valid question since the US government, congress and other US entities have done terrible things to its citizens: Witch hunts against left leaning people, muslims, ecologists, and many more.

I don’t think bothsiding or cultural relativism applies here. Funding terrorism is illegal and unethical. This woman was funding the opposite.

They can buy a HIMARS with that $50 /s
Nothing would have happened.

A link for more information : Terry J. Albury is an American former FBI agent convicted of leaking documents to news site The Intercept detailing secret guidelines for the FBI’s use of informants and the surveillance of journalists and religious and ethnic minority and immigrant communities.
