The bill designates the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist.
The bill, the "Designating Hamas Affiliates in America Act of 2026," directs the Secretary of the Treasury to list the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its affiliates as Specially Designated Global Terrorists. This designation blocks all assets of CAIR within U.S. jurisdiction and prohibits U.S. persons from engaging in transactions with CAIR. The bill also mandates the revocation of CAIR's tax-exempt status and requires a report to Congress detailing the criteria met for this designation.
