This is much-needed and long overdue. CAIR has been a subversive force in the U.S. for over thirty years, and has done incalculable damage. Thanks to Rep. Chip Roy, its day in the sun could be drawing to a close.
“Congressman Chip Roy Introduces Bill to Designate CAIR as Terrorist Entity,” Middle East Forum, April 9, 2026:
WASHINGTON, D.C. — April 9, 2026 — Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) has introduced a bill (click here) backed by the Middle East Forum (MEF) to designate the Hamas-aligned Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist entity. Roy’s legislation represents the most serious congressional effort to designate CAIR to date and follows decades of MEF research and activism aimed at exposing CAIR’s extremism and links to foreign terrorist organizations.
“The Designating Hamas Affiliates in America Act of 2026” directs the Secretary of the Treasury to designate CAIR as a terrorist entity, blocking its assets, revoking its tax-exempt status, and banning U.S. persons from engaging in any transactions with it. If passed, the legislation would effectively force CAIR to cease operations and dissolve for being one of Hamas’s most prolific advocates in the Western world.
The bill’s findings meticulously chronicle CAIR’s history of extremism, delivering a comprehensive and legally grounded account of the nonprofit’s links to global terrorism. It documents CAIR’s establishment as a public relations front for Hamas and its status as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial (2007–2008), in which founding board member of CAIR’s Texas chapter, Ghassan Elashi, was sentenced to 65 years in prison for funneling over $12 million to Hamas.
Roy’s legislation also documents U.S. government actions to isolate and suspend law enforcement contact with CAIR. In 2023, the Biden administration publicly disavowed the organization after CAIR founder and executive director Nihad Awad declared that he was “happy to see” Palestinians “breaking the siege” on October 7 in Israel and referred to Gaza as a “concentration camp.”
Recent moves to designate CAIR, including a congressional bill and state-level executive orders in Texas and Florida, were legally imprecise and have faced legal challenges. They sought to designate CAIR as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, a status that applies to overseas groups involved in acts of violence. Roy’s bill, which applies civil penalties to organizations that support terrorism, aligns most closely with federal statute and legal precedent and has the best chance of surviving judicial review.
As the co-chair of the Sharia-Free America Caucus in the House of Representatives, Roy is spearheading congressional efforts to protect Western civilization from Islamist threats. The 60-member caucus has launched committee hearings and dedicated time on the House floor to name the threat of radical Islam and adopt legislative solutions….

God bless Congressman Chip Roy and everyone who is backing this bill. Islamic law condones and sanctifies violence against all non-Moslem Americans and does not belong in American law. CAIR is a supremist group an organization that want to over throw American law and backs terrorist in America and overseas. It should be outlawed by the RICO act its status as a “nonprofit” organization should be revolted .The FBI should get search warrants for all leaders of CAIRS officers and their private homes .They should be treated the way major drug dealers are treated in American law all their assets should be seized as foreign enemies dealing in violence against America. Moslem “Americans” will be upset by this so what many are in a state of jihad or jihad supporters ,they will have to choose America law to live in peace in this country or they can leave and move to one of the over 50 Moslem majority countries in the world. Maybe they could move to western Europe those countries seem to be adopting Islamic law in the 21 century in a cowardly display of appeasement.

“banning any U.S. persons from doing business with it.” Those who do will be arrested, charged and tried. That includes any members of the terror group….such as hooper and awad and edward ahmed…..
It’s about time.
‘its day in the sun”….can be more like when the Native Americans tied their enemies down in the desert, sun burning mercilessly hot on leather strips….
Shine the light of the Law on them.

Finally!!!
And an excellent video featuring two of my favorite people:
Tommy Robinson and US Congressman Chip Roy – definitely worth watching.
Mr. Roy has a very good – and very practical – understanding of islam. He cofounded the Sharia-Free American Caucus and is currently running for Atty. Gen. of Texas.
He fully “gets” islam at a level necessary to effect positive change.

James,
Back in the ’90’s, the mb member said that if they ‘fail in America, they will fail to reach their global goal.’
If Mr Roy had been then as he is now, perhaps more would have been done then, esp since the WTC truck bombing ;
and later, the ‘holy land foundation trial’ showing America what the muzzies were trying to do.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
Yes.
CAIR – a muslim brotherhood front organization – should have been shut down and prosecuted under RICO many years ago.
But at least now it is being looked at – and I am cautiously optimistic.
somehistory says
James, so am I. I hope we don’t have long to wait to find out.

Thank you for sharing this link. As always, with Tommy, I had to turn on closed captions. I love Tommy but can’t always understand him!
While Mr. Robinson and Mr. Roy will have a larger historical impact, it was good to hear
Representative Roy call each of us to do our part to defeat Islam.
People often say to me “Well, the U.S. has let in so many more Muslims and there hasn’t been more 9/11’s” I say “Aside from all the “lone wolf” attacks, that’s the point. Why blast your way in to invade your target country when you can just fool them into holding their Constitutional
“Freedom of Religion” door open for you. Once inside the target country you can practice Birthrate Jihad while supporting “A Woman’s Right to Choose” to further fool the population.
As if female Muslims are going to get abortions.
As we all know, Islam is a Political Ideology that sprinkles itself with a few “religious” aspect to fool the guards at the Borders. This “religious” invasion is funded by unlimited Petrodollars via MB, CAIR et al.
Stop Islam at the Borders of our countries.
Dave lane says
Public enemy number one CAIR is hamas front group of the Muslim brotherhood Islamic terrorist et al world wide organization. Proud of Cnip and all my fellow Texan representatives and anyone else joining the fight

I suspect that the condom cap wearing oversized comms director Dougie (Abe) Hooper’s condom cap is ready to explode.
Good.
Troybeam says
The moment CAIR stated they were in America to conquer is when they should have been declared a threat to the nation and removed.
It could’ve happened but the democrats have been protecting this group and Muslims since the late 1960’s.
OLD GUY says
CAIR is bad but at least we know who they are. If and when CAIR is charged under RICO they will disburse and form other anti America groups. These members of CAIR must be arrested and deported if they are not natural citizens of America,. Those who are citizens need to be jailed and tracked when released. I’m sorry to say I don’t see our government doing much of anything but shuffling paper at $300 or more dollars a page. Washington law firms love it.
somehistory says
The members would be the ones charged under RICO….it’s belonging to a criminal enterprise that gets one into trouble with the Law.
Noah Andeark says
CAIR is a terror group. It’s officers, members, and supporters are terrorists. Straight up.
Uber sized comms director Doug (Abe) Hooper’s condom cap is ready to spout.
Candy Gonyo says
IN MY OPINION THESE LAWS ARE GOOD IF ONLY THE MUSLIMS WOULD OBEY THEM. THEY ARE PRACTICING SHARIA IN THE COMMUNITIES AND IN THEIR HOUSES OF SATAN (MOSQUES) WHERE THEY TEACH HOW TO HATE AND HOW TO KILL ALL JEWS AND NON-MUSLIMS. TO GET RID OF THESE PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO BAN ISLAM (IT’S NOT A RELIGION), BUT THEY USE IT TO CIRCUMVENT OUR CONSTITUTION’S FREEDOM OF RELIGION. INVESTIGATE( UNDERCOVER) MOSQUES, AND YOU’LL FIND WHAT EVIL GOES ON THERE, INCLUDING MARRYING OFF 6-YEAR-OLDS. IT’S HAPPENING NOW IN TX OPENLY. GOV WON’T DO WHAT THEY SHOULD DO SO I’VE DECIDED TO LEAVE THIS COUNTRY AND NEVER LOOK BACK
Troybeam says
Fuel for thought: you can take a person out of an Islamic nation and into another nation however that same person brings the Islamic nation with him and wants to live that inside of new nation.
Which is why Islam should have never been allowed to enter the USA as it was declared a foreign government, the Constitution states it is the law of the land.
Islam does not and never will assimilate they only want to conquer and that is supported by all the foreign money as well as domestic monies to build all the mosques. Texas had 43 mosques built in a few years: think about that in just one state.
