Overview
- The executive order takes immediate effect and directs state agencies to block access to state resources, deny privileges to those providing material support, and complete a compliance review within 30 days.
- CAIR and its Florida chapter said they will sue, calling the proclamation unconstitutional and defamatory, and they deny any ties to Hamas or the Muslim Brotherhood.
- Neither CAIR nor the Muslim Brotherhood is on the U.S. list of foreign terrorist organizations, making the state action largely symbolic but enforceable for state contracts, funding, and employment.
- Florida becomes the second state after Texas to issue such designations as the Trump administration conducts a federal review of certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters.
- DeSantis publicized the order on X and said lawmakers are crafting legislation to counter what he called the creep of sharia law, citing alleged links to Hamas outlined in the order.
