DeSantis cited a history of violence and support for terrorism by the Muslim Brotherhood and convictions involving CAIR members related to material support for terrorist organizations. These state-level actions follow a November executive order by former President Donald Trump, who declared certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/illegal-fishing-cartels-expand-criminal-activity-beyond-drug-human-smuggling-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Illegal fishing: Cartels expand criminal activity beyond drug, human smuggling - Washington Examiner\">foreign terrorist organizations due<\/a> to their involvement in violence and destabilization.
