Bill > HR4097

This bill directs the Secretary of State to conduct a comprehensive review of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to determine whether it meets the legal criteria for designation as a foreign terrorist organization. The bill presents an extensive list of findings that suggest CAIR has connections to terrorist groups, including being named an unindicted co-conspirator in a 2007 terrorism financing trial, having members with criminal convictions related to terrorism support, and being suspended from FBI contacts. The bill requires the Secretary of State, in collaboration with the Attorney General and Treasury Secretary, to complete this review within 90 days of enactment and submit a report to Congress detailing either CAIR's designation as a terrorist organization or the reasons why it does not meet the designation criteria. The findings also highlight CAIR's alleged associations with organizations like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, references to statements by CAIR officials that the bill argues demonstrate support for terrorist activities, and notes that the United Arab Emirates has previously designated CAIR as a terrorist organization. The bill aims to formally investigate CAIR's potential links to terrorist groups and determine its official status under U.S. law.
