A proposed mosque and commercial development in Broken Arrow is drawing statewide attention as Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond announced an investigation into the project. Drummond cited public concern and questions about funding and oversight as reasons for the probe. The investigation comes just four days before the Broken Arrow City Council's special meeting on Jan. 12. Drummond's office plans to review the project's ownership, governance, and financing, describing it as a matter of substantial public concern. “Oklahomans deserve confidence that local land-use decisions are being made lawfully, transparently and in full compliance with state and federal law,” Attorney General...

Here’s a clear, sourced summary of the organizations and groups identified as leading or involved in the Minneapolis “ICE resistance” movement (largely in response to federal ICE enforcement actions and the fatal shooting of a local activist): ⸻ 1) Indivisible Twin Cities • A local chapter of the national Indivisible Project — a progressive activist network originally formed after the 2016 election. • Reportedly a key organizer of anti-ICE demonstrations in Minneapolis, including resistance to enforcement actions and broader calls to end ICE operations locally.  2) ICE Watch / Minnesota ICE Watch • A local activist network focused on...

As the U.S. military carried out a daring operation to capture Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, a second front opened up within minutes in the United States an information warfare, psychological and propaganda operation run by a hardened cell of self-described Marxist, socialist and communist leaders. For years, this cell has fomented anti-American hate in the U.S. under the cover of "anti-war" protests, rallying activists after the 9/11 attacks to condemn the U.S. response, appropriating "anti-racism" protests after the 2020 killing of George Floyd, marching with Antifa agitators, organizing antisemitic campus encampments after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Hamas...

Gov. Ron DeSantis didn’t flinch when the Council on American-Islamic Relations sued Florida over his executive order labeling CAIR a terrorist organization. In fact, he welcomed it, framing the case as a vehicle for discovery that could expose the group’s funding sources. CAIR, which has never been designated a foreign terrorist organization by the federal government, argues the order violates due process, free speech, and federal authority over terror designations. The lawsuit tees up a constitutional showdown with implications well beyond CAIR itself: whether a Governor can unilaterally impose sweeping punitive restrictions on an American civil rights organization without criminal...

Tampa, Florida, is not simply experiencing immigration. It is being actively marketed abroad as an Islamic settlement hub, and newly uncovered Arabic-language footage shows exactly how.In promotional videos circulated to Arab and Muslim audiences overseas, Tampa is presented not as an American city to integrate into, but as a destination where incoming families can immediately plug into a fully Islamic parallel infrastructure—mosques, schools, markets, healthcare navigation, and social services—without meaningful interaction with broader American civic life.The footage is covert by design. Delivered entirely in Arabic and aimed at foreign audiences, it operates outside public scrutiny while providing step-by-step instruction on...

Governor Abbott Designates Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR As Foreign Terrorist Organizations. November 18, 2025 | Austin, Texas | Press Release. Governor Greg Abbott today designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations. This designation authorizes heightened enforcement against both organizations and their affiliates and prohibits them from purchasing or acquiring land in Texas. “The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world,’" said Governor Abbott. "The actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR to support...

It wasn’t long after Florida declared CAIR a foreign terrorist group, with an Executive Order blocking certain activities in Florida before they hit back with a lawsuit. As a former JAG Officer in the Navy, he didn’t even flinch at the threat of a lawsuit. In fact, he almost seems to be looking forward to it. For anyone jumping into this story partway through, let’s get everyone up to speed. His executive order got the ball rolling, but the Florida Legislature will likely be enshrining this into law. CAIR, to nobody’s surprise, pushed back immediately. They took the bait!

DeSantis designates CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist entities. Florida Governor designates CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations, directing agencies to block support and prevent unlawful activities.

A Dallas Muslim community leader will be deported after an immigration judge ruled he provided “material support” to the Holy Land Foundation, the Richardson-based charity whose leaders were convicted in a major terrorism financing case. Marwan Marouf, 54, a Jordanian national who has lived in the United States for roughly 30 years, has served as the public relations and fundraising director for the Muslim-American Society’s DFW chapter. He has been held in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody since September. The Dallas Express previously reported that ICE arrested Marouf in September and charged him with lacking a valid entry...

President Trump ignites the final assault on the Muslim Brotherhood, branding them terrorists to dismantle their pro-Hamas "civilization jihad" and expose Qatar's billions flooding US campuses with radical influence, will democracy's defenders prevail against this global menace? Gila Isaacson. Nov 23, 2025. In a significant development, President Donald Trump announced today that his administration is advancing the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO), with paperwork in its final stages. Supporters argue this move is critical to address the Brotherhood's alleged inspiration of groups like al-Qaida, ISIS, and Hamas, and to curb its global influence across...

President Donald Trump told Just the News on Sunday morning that he will designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization, striking a blow against a group long blamed for destabilizing the Middle East and radicalizing young Muslims. "It will be done in the strongest and most powerful terms," Trump said. "Final documents are being drawn." The president's announcement came just days after Just the News published a long expose on the Muslim Brotherhood's activities and growing concerns inside the Trump administration. Trump has been considering the move since his first administration. The Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamist group...

[TX] Gov. Greg Abbott is calling on law enforcement officials across North Texas to launch investigations into what he says may be illegal Sharia tribunals operating as rogue courts in Collin and Dallas counties. In a letter sent to local district attorneys, sheriffs, the Texas attorney general, and the Department of Public Safety, Abbott warned that certain entities may be “masquerading as legal ‘courts’ staffed with ‘judges’ issuing orders” that claim to bind individuals to Islamic law—actions he says could violate multiple state criminal statutes. Abbott noted that the First Amendment provides wide latitude for religious bodies to adjudicate internal...

Gov. Greg Abbott is escalating his actions against the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim Brotherhood, directing the Texas Department of Public Safety to launch criminal investigations into the organization and its affiliates. In a letter sent Thursday to DPS Director Freeman Martin, Abbott said CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood “have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world.’” The governor accused the groups of supporting terrorism, engaging in intimidation, and attempting to subvert state law through radical activity. Abbott pointed to federal court findings linking CAIR to Hamas—including a...

The Council on American-Islamic Relations’s (CAIR) legal arm has filed a lawsuit challenging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) designation of their group as a “foreign terrorist organization” — a stance at odds with the U.S. government. CAIR is the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights advocacy organization, according to a description on its website. The organization’s legal defense fund and the Muslim Legal Fund of America, a legal advocacy group for Muslims, sued both Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) on Thursday to prevent the enforcement of Abbott’s designation. “CAIR Legal Defense Fund has successfully sued and defeated Texas...

When will the IRS hold CAIR accountable?In Israel, they have something called ‘Pay to Slay’ in which the Palestinian Authority terror group pays Islamic terrorists who are captured while committing terrorist attacks or, if they die, pays their families.Under the first Trump administration, it led to a cutoff of U.S. aid to the PA.CAIR apparently had set up something similar in America.Anti-Israel agitators who spread disruption at US colleges and were punished by authorities were awarded checks for $1,000 by a Muslim nonprofit, The Post has learned.The money was given to students who faced penalties for leading pro-Palestinian protests before...

Anti-Israel agitators who spread disruption at US colleges and were punished by authorities were awarded checks for $1,000 by a Muslim nonprofit, The Post has learned. The money was given to students who faced penalties for leading pro-Palestinian protests before and after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 2023, according to a bombshell report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and the Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN). The cash was awarded from a “Champions of Justice Fund,” set up by the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations’... NCRI and IAN told The Post they are demanding...

While Farghali noted that it is typical of the Muslim Brotherhood to “exploit Gaza and Palestine for money.” The Muslim Brotherhood allegedly stole half a billion dollars from donations for the Gaza Strip in a single campaign, Egyptian researcher Maher Farghali reported on Sunday. While Farghali noted that it is typical of the Muslim Brotherhood to “exploit Gaza and Palestine for money,” the difference with this incident is that Hamas condemned the theft. The association Waqf al-Ummah/Ummet Vakfı, founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, is said to have been responsible for taking half a billion, which it raised in a single...
