Texas’ incoming Democrat governor wasted no time handing CAIR a gift. Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa hasn’t even been sworn in yet (takes office January 2027), but she’s already promising to reverse outgoing Gov. Greg Abbott’s designation of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a foreign terrorist organization and transnational criminal organization under Texas law. Abbott made that call in November 2025 after citing the Holy Land Foundation case, the largest terrorism-financing prosecution in U.S. history. Prosecutors named CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator. A federal judge later found “ample evidence” of CAIR’s associations with the Holy Land Foundation, the Islamic Association for Palestine, and Hamas. Ghassan Elashi, identified as a founding board member of CAIR’s Texas chapter, was convicted of providing material support to Hamas and sentenced to 65 years. The designation barred CAIR and its affiliates from acquiring property in Texas and authorized heightened enforcement. Hinojosa told the Washington Post she would remove it, dismissing the move as “nonsense” that isn’t real public safety. CAIR Action had already rated her a preferred candidate during the campaign. This is the first major signal of the new administration’s priorities, before the oath, before the inauguration. #StopIslam #StopDSA #AmericaFirst
