A bill would freeze money and end non-profit status for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
This bill would require the Treasury Department to designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its local chapters as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist' group. If this happens, CAIR's money in the U.S. would be frozen, and Americans would be banned from doing business with them. Their non-profit status would also be suspended.
Today, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its affiliates operate as a tax-exempt organization and are not listed as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. If this bill becomes law, CAIR and its affiliates would be officially designated as a global terrorist group, leading to their assets being frozen, a ban on transactions with U.S. persons, and the suspension of their tax-exempt status.
