DeSantis, Cabinet Approve Terror Designation Process for Florida
Officials are setting 7-day objection rules as the new process could trigger expulsion for students who promote designated groups.
- On Friday, Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet approved an emergency rule establishing procedures for designating domestic and foreign terrorist organizations, marking the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
- This rule implements House Bill 1471, which empowers Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Mark Glass as Chief of Domestic Security to label organizations based on specific criteria.
- Glass told the governor and Cabinet that he believed there were "imminent dangers to public health, safety, and welfare" from foreign and domestic terrorist groups, justifying the emergency procedures.
- American-Islamic Relations faces active lawsuits challenging the law, alleging violations of the Constitution and First Amendment, after a federal judge previously issued a temporary injunction against a separate executive order.
- The legislation mandates expelling university students who "promote" designated groups and bars state scholarship funding for affiliated K-12 schools, with DeSantis noting recommendations to designate more than 90 groups.
