Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order Monday evening designating two Muslim groups as “foreign terrorist organizations.” The executive order, which was posted on DeSantis’ social media accounts, states that the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Society of Muslim Brothers (Muslim Brotherhood) would be classified under Florida law as terrorist organizations, pointing to alleged connections to foreign extremist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. As a result of the order, Florida agencies including the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Florida Highway Patrol, are directed to “undertake all lawful measures to prevent unlawful activities by these organizations, including denying privileges or resources to anyone providing material support,” DeSantis wrote on the social media platform, X.com.
