Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law allowing the government to label groups as domestic or foreign terrorist organizations and expel student groups that support them. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has called the law anti-Muslim and anti-Sharia law, referring to the legal code outlined in the Quran. CAIR officials expressed concerns about free speech, freedom of religion, and due process, calling the governor's signature "draconian." The law also includes new rules regarding terrorist organization designation, including bans on receiving public funds, expulsions for students who join such groups, and criminal penalties. The law will go into effect in July.
