Скачать или смотреть Is Governor Abbott’s Fear-Mongering Fueling Texas Politics? CAIR Lawsuit Explained

Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s recent proclamation declaring the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, and Muslim Brotherhood as “foreign terrorist” and “transnational criminal” organizations has ignited a fierce legal and political battle. The designation bans CAIR from acquiring land in Texas and exposes the group to heightened state enforcement. CAIR has filed a federal lawsuit challenging the move as unconstitutional and defamatory, arguing Governor Abbott overstepped his authority and threatened civil rights and free speech protections. CAIR board member John Floyd explains what this lawsuit means and what’s at stake for CAIR, for Muslim communities in Texas, and for civil rights law in America.
