“A federal judge on Wednesday blocked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis'[s] order to classify a prominent Muslim civil rights group as a terrorist organization, calling the Republican’s action ‘a political statement at the expense of others’ constitutional rights.’ U.S. District Judge Mark Walker issued a preliminary injunction against the governor’s actions related to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR. DeSantis issued an executive order on Dec. 8 calling CAIR a ‘terrorist organization,’ which prevented the organization from ‘receiving any contract, employment, funds or other benefit or privilege.'” (03/05/26)
