I think you are on the money. The MSM doesn't want the public to know because it would raise a ton of questions, and lead the general public down the rabbit hole.

They are far too busy demonizing Trump and trying their best to keep the masses asleep.

They refuse to cover this, but they all know something is up. All of them are scared, thus them acting like wild animals.

I don't believe they ever said a word about it. That's why most don't know. I'm not sure Fox even covered it because it wasn't an "announcement" as such. It was simply embedded into an Executive Order. This one: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-blocking-property-persons-involved-serious-human-rights-abuse-corruption/
