Texas Governor-Elect Plans to Reverse CAIR Terrorist Designation
Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa said she plans to remove Greg Abbott’s state terrorist designation of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.
Abbott’s November 2025 proclamation designated CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations and restricted their ability to acquire real estate in Texas.
Hinojosa’s planned removal of the designation alone would not repeal Texas laws, automatically end investigations, or dismiss separate lawsuits involving CAIR and state officials.
