ORLANDO, Fla. — Governor DeSantis has designated over 90 groups as terrorist organizations, including the Muslim rights advocacy group, the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
The governor claims that this measure strengthens the executive order he signed last December, which also designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. However, CAIR is suing the governor over the designation, arguing that he is retaliating against them for fighting back against efforts to dismantle pro-Palestinian college groups.
The legislation also adds anti-fascist (Antifa) and several foreign groups.
