Texas Judge Orders Cair Chapters to Disclose Donor Records, Foreign Travel Records
- Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist organizations, banning them from buying land in Texas and allowing legal actions against them.
- The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas ruled in Abbott's favor, ordering Texas chapters of CAIR to disclose donor lists, donee lists, and travel records of CAIR’s executive director Nihad Awad to countries linked to Islamic terrorism between 2019 to 2024.
- The court required disclosure of foreign donors who contributed $5,000 or more between 2021 and 2024 and recipients of $2,500 or more during the same period, rejecting redacted donor information as insufficient.
- CAIR has denied ties to terrorism and filed a lawsuit claiming Abbott's designation violated federal law and chilled their First Amendment rights, but the legal dispute is ongoing with this ruling marking a significant judicial victory for Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
