FLORIDA — Governor Ron DeSantis announced Monday that Florida is officially designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations.
The announcement, made through posts on the governor’s official Facebook and X accounts, said:
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
Florida is designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations.
Florida agencies are hereby directed to undertake all lawful measures to prevent unlawful activities by these organizations, including denying privileges or resources to anyone providing material support.
CAIR responded to this announcement, saying in part, "We look forward to defeating Governor DeSantis’ latest Israel First stunt in a court of law, where facts matter and conspiracy theories have no weight. In the meantime, we encourage all Floridians and all Americans to speak up against this latest attempt to shred the Constitution for the benefit of a foreign government."
CAIR will be holding a press conference Tuesday at 12 p.m. to officially announce legal action against Governor DeSantis.
