    The State Department has officially designated Ansarallah (also known as Houthi group) as a Foreign Terrorist Organization under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This decision came after consulting with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury, concluding there is enough evidence to support the designation. The announcement was made by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and takes effect upon its publication in the Federal Register.

    Simple Explanation

    The State Department has decided to officially name a group called Ansarallah, also known as the Houthi group, as a terrorist organization, which means they think this group is dangerous and involved in bad actions. This decision was made after talking with other important people in the government to be really sure, and it’s now officially announced in a special government book called the Federal Register.
