BREAKING: CAIR Legal Defense Fund, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Muslim Legal Fund of America, and Akeel & Valentine, just filed a federal lawsuit challenging Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' blatantly unconstitutional executive order targeting our civil rights organization.

Through this legal action, we will, God willing, remind Governor Ron DeSantis that he is the outgoing governor of Florida, not the King of Florida, and that this is still America. Due process matters. Free speech matters. The law matters.

No governor has the right to shred the Constitution and upend our legal system by unilaterally declaring an American organization whose speech he opposes a "terrorist group" and then punishing that group and Americans who support it, all without due process, all without legal authority, and all in service to a foreign government.

While our esteemed legal representatives at SPLC, MLFA, Akeel & Valentine, PLC and CAIR LDF stand up for us in a court of law, CAIR and CAIR Florida remain squarely focused on standing up for the rights of the American Muslim community and pursuing justice for ALL people, here and abroad.

In a statement, Akeel & Valentine said:

“This is a historic moment for the rule of law, and Akeel & Valentine is grateful to be part of this fight to protect the rule of law. To be clear, the lawsuit we have filed is not about whether Ron DeSantis is entitled to express disagreement with CAIR’s advocacy for free speech and Palestinian human rights. He is. Nor is this lawsuit about vindicating CAIR as an independent, law-abiding American civil rights organization. It obviously is. This lawsuit is about something bigger: whether Governor DeSantis or any government official can flout the law and exceed the power of their office in order to bully, intimidate and ultimately silence Americans they disagree with. This is about every American’s freedom to speak.”

Today, Akeel & Valentine, CAIR Legal Defense Fund (CAIR LDF), the Muslim Legal Fund of America (MLFA) and the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) announced the filing of a federal lawsuit challenging Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' "blatantly unconstitutional" executive order targeting the Council
