Supreme Court to weigh whether cooking counts as terrorist material support
Original: Supreme Court to decide if Nigerian man’s cooking was ‘material support’ for terrorists
The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case examining whether a Nigerian man's cooking for members of a terrorist organisation constitutes 'material support' for terrorism. The justices will clarify how far the material-support statute stretches, and the outcome could affect how everyday acts performed for designated groups are prosecuted in US courts.
Why now: The Supreme Court's decision to take up the case raises significant questions about the scope of US terrorism laws.
