The U.S. state of Texas has added the Muslim Brotherhood organization and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to its list of terrorist entities. Republican Governor Greg Abbott announced on the X platform that this decision "prevents them from purchasing or acquiring land in Texas" and allows government authorities "to initiate legal proceedings to shut them down." In Houston (AFP) on Tuesday, the state of Texas announced it had added two organizations, one of which is the Muslim Brotherhood, to its blacklist of terrorist organizations. However, Abbott had previously classified the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang as a "terrorist organization". The classification of entities as terrorist organizations typically falls under the jurisdiction of the federal government, not individual states.
