Texas Scorecard By Brandon Waltens December 2, 2025
Gov. Greg Abbott recently declared CAIR a foreign terrorist organization under Texas law. Gov. Greg Abbott is continuing his escalating actions against the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), formally requesting that U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent begin the process to revoke the organization’s tax-exempt nonprofit status.
In the letter, Abbott noted that “Federal investigators and court fillings identify CAIR as a direct subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood and as a ‘front group’ for Hamas in the United States.”
“Accordingly, I respectfully request that you investigate CAIR for suspension of its tax-exempt status. Americans have generous hearts, and federal law wisely creates incentives to donate to nonprofit organizations that promote the public good. But charity must not become a backdoor to sponsor terrorism, endanger Americans, and subvert our democracy,” he continued.
