Gov. Ron DeSantis issued executive order designating the groups weeks after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did the same thing
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, designated the Muslim Brotherhood and Council on American-Islamic Relations as terror organizations on Monday.
“Florida agencies are hereby directed to undertake all lawful measures to prevent unlawful activities by these organizations, including denying privileges or resources to anyone providing material support,” he stated.
The move, which follows Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s designation of the same groups on Nov. 18, directs the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Florida Highway Patrol to take “all lawful measures” to prevent illegal activity by the groups.
