đ¨ HERO ALERT FLORIDA - MEET THE MAN WHO JUST DELIVERED ONE OF THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL BLOWS IN HISTORY TO THE FOREIGN TERRORIST GROUP CAIR
My friend and HERO Charles Cooper.
Charles Cooper of the Washington, D.C. law firm Cooper & Kirk stood up in federal court for Florida and told the judge the plain truth: Florida views CAIR as âHamasâ largest charitable front.â
Hamas is a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization. Cooper said it with no euphemisms and no âcivil rightsâ deflection. That is the position no other lawyer in this fight has put on the record so clearly.
Now look at the result.
CAIR-Florida has suspended operations. A neon orange sign on the window of their longtime Temple Terrace office (the one theyâve had for more than 20 years near Tampa) reads:
âWe have suspended our operations in Florida because of Governor DeSantis and other state officialsâ baseless and unconstitutional enforcement of the stateâs unprecedented new âdomestic terrorist organizationâ laws against us.â
The shutdown follows Floridaâs designation of CAIR under the new 2026 law. Donations are harder, student affiliation is riskier, and continued operations in the state have become untenable. CAIRâs own website has told Florida residents not to engage with them.
This is the latest development in the nearly year-long battle between CAIR and Governor DeSantis. CAIR has sued and sought injunctions. Florida has continued forward.
HERO Charles Cooper has been the one in court making the stateâs case without flinching.
Governor Ron DeSantis drove this from the start. He signed the 2026 law, approved the designation, and refused to back down. Attorney General James Uthmeier has stood with him and supported the enforcement that forced CAIR-Florida to act.
Florida drew a line. CAIR-Florida has now suspended operations. The infrastructure that has operated openly for decades in the state has been forced to stop.
Thank you, Charles Cooper - for delivering one of the most consequential blows in history to this group and for saying the quiet part out loud in court.
Thank you, Governor Ron DeSantis and Attorney General James Uthmeier- for refusing to blink.
Heroic work. Straight facts. No retreat.
America is watching. Do not let them regroup.
