This bill would require the Secretary of the Treasury, working with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General, to designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), including its chapters, affiliates, and successors, as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist. Once designated, CAIR's assets in the United States would be blocked, U.S. persons could not do business with it, and it would be added to the Treasury's sanctions list. The bill would also require the Treasury to suspend the federal tax-exempt status of CAIR and its chapters. Within 30 days, federal officials would have to send Congress a report on whether CAIR meets the designation criteria.
