CAIR sues Florida after Gov. Ron DeSantis makes terror declaration, and reactions to the Florida State Board of Education's decision to ban undocumented immigrants from public colleges.
The Council on American Islamic Relations and its state chapter are now suing the state of Florida.
Gov. Ron DeSantis said that he added CAIR to a list of terrorist organizations.
A new law that took effect Wednesday gave DeSantis the power to do that.
CAIR says the label is not true, and the designation will be debilitating for the organization.
'Baseless': Cair sues Florida governor for terrorism designation alongside drug cartels
The largest Muslim civil rights group in the US has sued the governor of Florida for designating it a "domestic terrorist organisation", potentially alongside some of the most deadly drug cartels in the Americas.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair) filed the lawsuit on Thursday in partnership with non-profits The American Civil Liberties Union and the Southern Poverty Law Center, calling the new law "baseless".
The designation opens up Cair to "immediate and irreparable harm, including the shuttering of all their operations and advocacy in the state", the group said in a statement.
Florida has further listed the Muslim Brotherhood, which has no known operation in the US or a centralised headquarters globally, as a terrorist organisation, as well as "antifa", which is short for the anti-fascist movement. It also has no defined scope or location.
