Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has issued an executive order designating the Council on American-Islamic Relations as a supposed foreign terrorist organization. CAIR is the largest Muslim civil rights group in the United States and has spent more than 30 years defending free speech, religious liberty, and justice. The order allegedly attempts to link CAIR to Hamas, claims CAIR has repeatedly denied and is now challenging in federal court.
Civil rights experts warn this move mirrors a similar Texas action and sets a dangerous precedent. Targeting nonprofits through executive power threatens constitutional protections, chills advocacy, and diverts public resources away from real public needs. These actions allegedly aim to intimidate charities, silence marginalized communities, and weaken the First Amendment.
Defending civil rights also means protecting ethical advocacy, community care, and the broader values shared by environmental and animal justice movements. When free speech is undermined, every cause is at risk.
