DeSantis recommends Muslim group CAIR be labeled a ‘terrorist’ organization

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced his intent to recommend the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) be designated a terrorist organization under a new state law, HB 1471. CAIR, which describes itself as a Muslim civil liberties group, opposed the law, citing constitutional concerns, while DeSantis argued it would prevent 'foreign and extremist influence.'
