Designate CAIR as a Terrorist Organization Act

Key claim: HR4097 would designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a terrorist organization.

Abstract

(HR4097 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-06-24): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Why this matters

Terrorist-organization designations carry automatic trade consequences, including asset blocking under IEEPA and material-support prohibitions that reach cross-border transactions and export licensing. HR4097’s application of these authorities to a U.S.-based nonprofit is a novel target for a designation mechanism more typically aimed at foreign networks, and would ripple into export-control, customs, and financial-services compliance if enacted.
