DeSantis announces plans to use new state law to target dozens of alleged terrorist groups

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis designated more than 90 groups as terrorist organizations under a new state law enacted in 2023. The designations include the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim Brotherhood, and Antifa. The law permits the state to seize assets of designated groups and impose criminal penalties on members. DeSantis's office did not specify the full list of designated organizations or the criteria used for the designations.
