BREAKING: Texas Governor Greg Abbott has just announced a bold move to investigate the nonprofit status of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), citing its alleged ties to terrorism. In a letter addressed to U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Abbott is calling for the immediate suspension of CAIR’s 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, labeling the organization a “front group” for Hamas and a “direct subsidiary” of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States.
This urgent request comes from Abbott’s office as part of a broader initiative to scrutinize organizations he believes may pose a threat to national security. The letter states that “federal investigators and court filings identify CAIR as a direct subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood and as a ‘front group’ for Hamas in the United States.” Abbott insists that it is crucial to ensure that charitable organizations do not facilitate activities that could jeopardize American safety or weaken democratic foundations.
Governor Abbott has been a vocal critic of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood, labeling both as foreign terrorist organizations. In addition to this latest development, he has previously called for investigations into Sharia courts and directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to probe deeper into the activities of CAIR and its connections.
As this story develops, many are watching closely to see how federal authorities respond to Abbott’s call for action. The implications of this investigation could resonate beyond Texas, potentially impacting CAIR’s operations nationwide.
This announcement adds to a growing climate of scrutiny surrounding nonprofit organizations and their affiliations. Abbott’s push highlights ongoing concerns about the intersection of faith-based institutions and national security.
