Executive Order 13863 of March 15, 2019
Taking Additional Steps to Address the National
Emergency With Respect to Significant Transnational
Criminal Organizations
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the National
Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), and section
301 of title 3, United States Code;
I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of
America, in order to take additional steps to deal with
the national emergency with respect to significant
transnational criminal organizations declared in
Executive Order 13581 of July 24, 2011 (Blocking
Property of Transnational Criminal Organizations), in
view of the evolution of these organizations as well as
the increasing sophistication of their activities,
which threaten international political and economic
systems and pose a direct threat to the safety and
welfare of the United States and its citizens, and
given the ability of these organizations to derive
revenue through widespread illegal conduct, including
acts of violence and abuse that exhibit a wanton
disregard for human life as well as many other crimes
enriching and empowering these organizations, hereby
order:
Section 1. Subsection (e) of section 3 of Executive
Order 13581 is hereby amended to read as follows:
``(e) the term ``significant transnational criminal
organization'' means a group of persons that includes
one or more foreign persons; that engages in or
facilitates an ongoing pattern of serious criminal
activity involving the jurisdictions of at least two
foreign states, or one foreign state and the United
States; and that threatens the national security,
foreign policy, or economy of the United States.''
Sec. 2. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to
impair or otherwise affect:
(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or
the head thereof; or
(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget
relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.
(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with
applicable law and subject to the availability of
appropriations.
[[Page 10256]]
(c) This order is not intended to, and does not,
create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
enforceable at law or in equity by any party against
the United States, its departments, agencies, or
entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any
other person.
(Presidential Sig.)
