Florida Moves to Designate CAIR Under Terror Law

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis used the first day of HB 1471's new state terror-designation process to move against CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, Antifa and more than 90 federally listed foreign terrorist organizations, including Iran's IRGC and major cartels. The governor's office said the July 1 action targets extremist influence and public support, while local reports clarify the designations need Florida Cabinet confirmation before carrying full force of law. CAIR and CAIR Florida filed a federal lawsuit the same day, arguing the regime violates speech, religion and due-process rights. Jewish communities should welcome serious action against terror-linked networks while insisting every durable security tool be evidence-based and court-tested.
