Florida’s Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is poised to file a lawsuit against Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) after the governor followed in the footsteps of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), deeming the group a foreign terrorist organization.

Fox News reported, “Hiba Rahim, the [CAIR] chapter’s deputy executive director, said during a news conference that the order was an attack rooted in conspiracy theories and compared it to historical efforts that targeted Jewish, Irish and Italian American communities.”
CAIR National and CAIR-Florida released a joint statement, making it clear that a lawsuit is forthcoming.
“From the moment Ron DeSantis took office as Florida governor, he has prioritized serving the Israeli government over serving the people of Florida. He hosted his very first official cabinet meeting in Israel,” the statement began. “He diverted millions in Florida taxpayer dollars to the Israeli government’s bonds. He threatened to shut down every Florida college’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, only to back off when CAIR sued him in federal court,” it went on, comparing DeSantis to Abbott and describing the Florida governor as “an Israel First politician who wants to smear and silence Americans, especially American Muslims, critical of U.S. support for Israel’s war crimes.”
