Current understanding
To be populated as evidence accumulates.
Evidence log
- 2025-06-24 — Designate CAIR as a Terrorist Organization Act: Parallel designation-targeting proposal: HR4097 (Designate CAIR as a Terrorist Organization Act) would apply terrorist-organization designation authorities to CAIR, mirroring the affiliate-designation approach used in the Hamas context but aimed at a domestic U.S. nonprofit. (novelty: 2)
- 2025-12-02 — No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act of 2025: Cross-connection with no-immigration-benefits-hamas-terrorists-act: companion immigration-side approach that would bar Hamas, PIJ, and all PLO members plus October 7 facilitators from U.S. admission and asylum relief, complementing FTO/affiliate designation frameworks with statutory inadmissibility grounds and an annual DHS reporting mandate. (novelty: 3)
- 2026-07-14 — Replace UNRWA with Real Humanitarian Assistance Act: cross-connection with unrwa-replacement-humanitarian-assistance: UNRWA replacement is frequently justified on national-security grounds tied to alleged Hamas infiltration, linking humanitarian aid policy to the Hamas affiliate designation framework. (novelty: 2)
- 2016-08-02 — Naming the Enemy Within Homeland Security Act: Parallel legislative approach: HR5823 (Naming the Enemy Within HSA) would similarly restrict federal engagement with designated-affiliated entities, targeting Muslim Brotherhood associates via the Holy Land Foundation unindicted co-conspirator list rather than a State/Treasury FTO-style designation. (novelty: 2)
