Florida Designates CAIR and Muslim Brotherhood as Foreign Terrorist Organizations

DeSantis' order instructs state agencies to cut off resources, with a compliance review due in 30 days.

Overview

  • Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the designations on Monday, saying the directive takes effect immediately.
  • Florida agencies were told to block access to state resources and deny privileges to anyone found providing material support.
  • DeSantis publicized the move in a post on X that outlined the enforcement steps for state entities.
  • Texas made similar designations last month, including restrictions on the groups and affiliates purchasing or acquiring land in that state.
  • Neither CAIR nor the Muslim Brotherhood is designated as a terrorist organization by the federal government, and CAIR did not immediately comment.
