Congress and IRS Policy

Sen. John Cornyn (R‑Texas) says he will introduce legislation to revoke the Council on American‑Islamic Relations’ federal tax‑exempt status by extending current prohibitions to groups that provide material support to U.S.-designated terrorist organizations. The move follows Texas and Florida designations of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist groups; CAIR is not federally designated, and a recent Trump executive order directs State and Treasury to assess certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters for possible U.S. designations.
