Independent UK - Texas Governor Greg Abbott has declared one of the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy groups in the US, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a 'foreign terrorist organization' and a 'transnational criminal organization'.
He stated this proclamation would allow the state to attempt to shut down the group and prevent it from acquiring land within Texas.
The Muslim Brotherhood was also included in this designation. However, neither CAIR nor the Muslim Brotherhood are officially designated as foreign terrorist organisations by the US government.
