Florida Designates CAIR and Muslim Brotherhood as Terrorist Groups Under New Law
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and the state Cabinet designated the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations under Florida law HB 1471. This designation restricts state funding, contracts, and campus access for these groups, citing alleged ties to Hamas and CAIR's involvement in the 2007 Holy Land Foundation trial. The law enables penalties and aims to limit the groups' activities within Florida, including prohibiting student promotion of these organizations at universities.
