CAIR

Abdul El-Sayed became the first Muslim nominated by the Democratic Party to run for the U.S. Senate in Michigan, but this achievement was met with widespread anti-Muslim vitriol. The article details heightened tensions and backlash, including anti-Islam remarks at a city council meeting where the vote on a proposed mosque site plan proceeded unanimously.

CAIR, a Muslim nonprofit, has been labeled a terrorist organization in Florida and Texas. Some governors are labeling groups as terrorist organizations, an action typically reserved for the federal government.

HHS is investigating CAIR for alleged terror ties and the use of $30 million allocated for Afghan refugee resettlement. The agency is demanding a probe from the governors of California and Washington regarding funds given to a Muslim group for settling Afghan refugees.
