(THE DAILY SIGNAL) \u2013 Congressional\u00a0Republicans\u00a0condemned the\u00a0Council on American-Islamic Relations\u00a0after it urged Americans to protest because \u201c[Immigration and Customs Enforcement] is out of control and must be stopped.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Jan. 28 press release\u00a0from CAIR encouraged people to join nationwide protests against ICE scheduled for Jan. 30.<\/p>\n

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, told The Daily Signal that\u00a0Americans\u00a0should not be listening to the demands of a group that has \u201cties to Hamas\u201d in the first place.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cAmericans support secure borders and deporting foreign nationals who are here illegally,\u201d Lee said. \u201cThe last people they will be listening to are the activists at CAIR with ties to Hamas. Indeed, they might cause even more Americans to support ICE.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

One of the founders of the House\u2019s\u00a0Sharia Free America Caucus, Rep. Keith Self, R-Texas, told The Daily Signal that \u201cof course the terrorist organization that is CAIR is endorsing calls for a nationwide strike against ICE.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cThey despise law and order and deliberately foment chaos across the country so they can more readily impose their Islamic extremism on the rest of us,\u201d Self continued.\n<\/p>\n

When The Daily Signal contacted CAIR for comment, the group referred The Daily Signal to a statement that claimed ICE engages in \u201cbreaches of law and order and violations of civil rights\u201d that \u201cmust stop immediately.\u201d<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

In late 2025,\u00a0President Donald Trump\u00a0signed an executive order that designated CAIR and elements of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations for their alleged financial ties to Islamic terrorist organizations like Hamas.\n<\/p>\n

After CAIR pushed for a Sharia law-only Islamic compound known as EPIC City outside of Houston in May, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed\u00a0legislation\u00a0in September to ban Sharia law and Sharia law-only compounds in the state. CAIR condemned the legislation as \u201cracist\u201d and \u201cIslamophobic.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

In November, Abbott\u00a0signed legislation\u00a0designating CAIR as a foreign terrorist organization, which banned its operations in the state.\n<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Abbott pushed Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to revoke the organization\u2019s\u00a0nonprofit status.\n<\/p>\n

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed an executive order targeting CAIR as well.\n<\/p>\n
