Florida names CAIR Muslim Brotherhood foreign terrorist organizations

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced that, effective immediately, the state is designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist organizations. In posts on his official Facebook and X accounts, he directed state agencies to take all lawful measures to prevent unlawful activities, including denying privileges or resources to anyone providing material support. CAIR denounced the move as an “Israel First stunt,” said it expects to defeat it in court, and urged Floridians and Americans to speak up against what it called an attempt to shred the Constitution for the benefit of a foreign government.
