Governor Greg Abbott has designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations in Texas. This move allows for heightened enforcement against the groups and prohibits them from purchasing land in the state. The U.S. has already designated branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations, while CAIR, a Muslim advocacy organization, has faced similar accusations. Abbott's decision has sparked criticism from Muslim advocates who fear it could lead to violence against Muslim communities. CAIR has denied allegations of supporting terrorist groups and compared the situation to targeting civil rights groups in the past. President Donald Trump has also shown interest in making a similar federal designation, but so far it has not happened due to the diffuse nature of the groups. Abbott's action comes amidst his re-election campaign for a fourth term as governor.
