The Council on American-Islamic Relations has announced plans to file a lawsuit against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The organization alleges that the governor issued a defamatory and unconstitutional order labeling them as a foreign terrorist organization. CAIR criticized DeSantis for prioritizing the interests of the Israeli government over those of Florida residents, referencing actions such as holding a cabinet meeting in Israel and diverting state funds to Israeli bonds. The group also noted previous legal action taken against efforts to shut down student organizations supporting Palestine.
