Nov. 12 (UPI) -- Congress is voting on a bill Tuesday that will empower the executive branch to remove the tax-exempt status from any nonprofit it deems to be supporting terrorists. The Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act gives this authority to the secretary of the Treasury. More than 120 nonprofit organizations have signed a letter urging Congress to reject the bill out of concern that it will be politicized and enforced in a discriminatory manner. Advertisement
