``(III) that is a group of two or more individuals, whether
organized or not, which engages in, or has a subgroup which
engages in, the activities described in subclauses (I)
through (VI) of clause (iv), and that the Secretary of State,
in consultation with or upon the request of the Attorney
General or the Secretary of Homeland Security, has determined
that these activities threaten the security of United States
nationals or the national security of the United States.
``(vii) Applicability.--Clause (iv)(VI) shall not apply
to--

the United States with regard to activities undertaken in the
course of official military duties; or
``(II) any alien determined not to be a threat to the

``(i) The Secretary of State, after consultation with the
Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security, or

shall not apply to an alien, that subsection
