- Civil rights group sues Florida officials for designating CAIR a terrorist organization
A civil rights group sued Florida officials for designating the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a domestic terrorist organization. The lawsuit challenges the designation as unconstitutional, citing lack of procedural safeguards, and seeks to block its enforcement. Governor Ron DeSantis announced the designation under a new law (HB 1471) allowing Florida to label organizations as terrorist groups.
