The Court has ruled that a law prohibiting “material support” to terrorist organizations is constitutional and that it is permissible to ban any support to such groups—including humanitarian support—because all support is tantamount to promoting terrorism.

The case was brought by groups providing aid to organizations that do humanitarian work, but are also designated as “foreign terrorist organizations” by the United States for their numerous terrorist attacks.
