We write you today to implore you to investigate and denounce CAIR for hiding behind the veneer of advocacy and civil rights while exploiting our immigration system through its special designation that allows non-lawyers on CAIR’s staff to represent clients in immigration proceedings. Since 2015, CAIR has exploited this designation as well as their 501(c)(3) status at the expense of American taxpayers while infiltrating this country. We urge you to revoke their special EOIR designation and further add them to the list of terror organizations in the United States. In the powerful article by Marzouk, our US government should not be conferring special privileges, influence, and legitimacy upon CAIR’s most powerful state affiliate, CAIR-California.
CAIR is a security threat and cannot be trusted to arbitrate immigration cases when they themselves have links to terrorist organizations and support US designated terror groups. For example, there are videos of a CAIR immigration attorney, Amy Doukoure, in a “Know Your Rights” workshop at a Dearborn Mosque, laughing and saying it’s ridiculous to call the Houthis a terrorist organization. San Francisco Bay Area executive director and officer for CAIR - Zahra Biloo - proclaimed on X in May 2025 that “There is no amount of cancer treatment that can protect President Joe Biden from the prayers of the oppressed and ultimately God’s wrath.” Effectively, she is calling for the death of our past President with impunity as the organization that she works for enjoys special privileges under governmental status.
In March of this year, the Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN), a nonpartisan community advocacy organization, filed a formal complaint with the DOJ for investigation into CAIR-CA’s use of department of justice funds and an immediate investigation under 8 CFR 1292.19 to seek a determination that CAIR-CA’s EOIR continued accreditation is not in the public interest of the people of the United States.
We implore the Department of Justice to use its lawful authority to revoke CAIR-California – and all of CAIR’s accreditation with the Executive Office of Immigration Review.
CAIR leaders’ open support for terrorist violence — which caused the previous administration to shun the group after the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attacks against Israeli civilians — is clearly not in the public interest. In the time since, its extremist rhetoric has been adopted by large numbers of activists across America. CAIR’s publications and manuals mimic the incendiary language of its leaders. The FBI has restricted its non-investigative interactions with CAIR based on evidence from the 2007 Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF) trial. This trial evidence connected CAIR leaders to Hamas, and CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator. CAIR IS A SECURITY THREAT (reference CFR listing at the end of this letter)!!
February 2024, the Florida House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution to denounce the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Florida joins Arkansas and Maryland, who have similarly distanced themselves from the terror-linked organization. The rest of the country should follow suit and permanently blacklist this Hamas-linked Islamist group. CAIR is no stranger to public disgrace and has fueled the meteoric rise in Jew hatred in America and worldwide. Throughout its tumultuous history, the Muslim nonprofit has faced legal scrutiny and survived multiple scandals, yet somehow remains the media’s go-to Islamic organization for any topic dealing with Muslims or the Middle East. Until recently, CAIR has perversely belonged to a White House taskforce dealing with antisemitism.
As eloquently stated by Marzouk in her 15 June 2025 OpEd, “Immigration law requires providers to assess terrorism-related grounds of inadmissibility. Applicants for asylum, legal permanent residency, and many other forms of immigration relief must attest to their rejection of terrorism and their intent not to further it in the United States. How can CAIR-California be trusted to assess the national security risks of clients when it is promoting the very ideology it is tasked with weeding out? The federal government is effectively letting the fox guard the henhouse.”
CAIR has provided ample evidence of their participation when it comes to Jew hatred, antisemitism, and Islamic extremism. The Executive Director of CAIR LA, Hussam Ayloush, is literally calling for death to the Jews and Muslim insurrection this past Saturday in Irvine, California (the next Islamic caliphate). The number of blood libels and outright lies about immigrants, Mexicans, and Jews in this speech alone is heinous. While Jews, as a people are not connected to the immigrant issues in our country today, Ayloush does not waste a moment to peddle hate-fueled rhetoric against the Jewish people. Now, CAIR is attaching their cause to the immigrant protests to try and gain sympathy through this avenue. However, calling these folks undocumented immigrants is like calling a meth dealer an undocumented pharmacist. They have been behind a significant amount of propaganda and rhetoric that has caused our very democracy to be upended and our school systems to become factories of ideological putrefaction. CAIR has been using fake charities and fake advocacy to disguise their pro-terrorist activities.
Just like Secretary Bessent just froze the assets of these organizations, CAIR’s assets should also be frozen as a crucial step toward stopping the flow of money to terrorism and show that our country will not tolerate the exploitation of humanitarian efforts for violent rhetoric that promotes hate and violence.
For the sake of our Nation, remove the EOIR designation from CAIR and add them to the list of terror-linked organizations in this country. The future of our democracy depends on the implementation of the checks and balances inherent in the scaffolding of our system.
