H.R.8236

Designating Hamas Affiliates in America Act of 2026

Introduced·4/9/26

Designating Hamas Affiliates in America Act of 2026 seeks to list the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a Specially Designated Global.

The Designating Hamas Affiliates in America Act of 2026 aims to direct the Secretary of the Treasury to designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its affiliates as Specially Designated Global Terrorists. This designation would block all assets of CAIR within the U.S. and prohibit U.S. persons from engaging in transactions with CAIR. The bill also mandates the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Treasury to submit a report to Congress detailing CAIR's criteria for such designation.

The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
