Overview
- House Concurrent Memorials targeting CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood cleared the Arizona House Committee on Federalism, Military Affairs and Elections along party lines and now head to the full chamber.
- The measures ask the president and Congress to apply terrorist designations and have no direct legal effect at the state level.
- CAIR-Arizona and a coalition of civil-rights and faith organizations oppose the proposals, saying they endanger Muslim communities and smear a civil-rights group.
- Supporters pointed to the 2008 Holy Land Foundation case and a 2014 UAE designation, while the U.S. government has not designated CAIR; one Republican member voiced concerns but still voted yes.
- The Arizona push follows late-2025 proclamations in Texas and Florida labeling the groups, actions that prompted ongoing legal challenges.
