Florida Gov. Ron Desantis Labels CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood 'Foreign Terrorists Organizations'
7 weeks ago
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has officially designated the Council on American-Islamic Relations, one of the largest Muslim civil rights groups in the U.S., as a foreign terrorist organization. His executive order also applies the same label to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The order prohibits the groups — and anyone who provides them material support — from receiving state contracts, jobs, or funding from Florida government agencies. Neither group is designated as terrorist by the U.S. federal government.
Supporters say the move targets foreign influence, while critics warn it could unfairly target civil rights advocacy.
