Republican claims of ‘terrorism’ leave everyone unsafe, Muslim leader warns

Edward Ahmed Mitchell, deputy director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, warns that actions by Republican governors in Texas and Florida to label his organization as a “terrorist organization” pose a threat to all civil rights and advocacy groups. He asserts that no governor should have the unilateral power to declare such organizations as terrorists, as it violates due process and free speech. Mitchell emphasizes that if this power is abused, no organization will be safe.
