Overview
Urges the President of the United States (President) and the United States (U.S.) Congress to designate the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a terrorist organization and to pass H.R. 4097.
History
Federal law authorizes the U.S. Secretary of State to designate an organization as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. To make a designation, the Secretary of State must determine that an organization is foreign, engages in terrorist activity or terrorism or retains the capability and intent to engage in such activity and that the organization’s terrorist activity threatens the security of U.S. nationals or the national security of the U.S. The statute requires advance notification to congressional leadership and publication of the designation in the Federal Register. A designated organization may seek judicial review of the designation in federal court (8 U.S.C. § 1189).
Provisions
1. Urges the President and the U.S. Congress:
a. in coordination with the U.S. Attorney General and the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, to conduct a review to determine CAIR meets the criteria for designation as a foreign terrorist organization; and
b. the U.S. pass H.R. 4097, or substantially similar legislation, requiring federal review and accountability of CAIR's ties to terrorist entities.
2. Requires the Secretary of State to transmit copies of this Memorial to the President, the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, the President of the U.S. Senate, the U.S. Secretary of State, the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and each Member of Congress from Arizona.
