Florida Cabinet Clears Rule to Brand CAIR, Antifa Terrorist Groups

Florida Cabinet Clears Rule to Brand CAIR, Antifa Terrorist Groups

FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass recommended the designations in July, and CAIR's lawyers already sued in federal court to block them.

  • The rule lets FDLE's domestic security chief notify DeSantis and the Cabinet before any designation.
  • More than 90 groups face review, including the Sinaloa and Gulf cartels and Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
  • CAIR and the ACLU sued in federal court in July, calling the law unconstitutional.

Why it matters: One office decides guilt now; a court still has not ruled on any of these groups.
