💨 Abstract

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has sued Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis over his order designating CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as "foreign terrorist organizations." CAIR argues that the directive is unconstitutional and seeks to prevent its enforcement. The lawsuit claims DeSantis targeted CAIR for defending free speech rights related to Palestinian human rights. DeSantis' order restricts state contracts, employment, and funds for these groups and their supporters.
