Rep. Chip Roy introduced the 'No Tax Exemptions for Terror Act' to eliminate 501(c)(3) status for groups like CAIR. Roy argued that Americans are 'inadvertently subsidizing terror' through tax breaks for organizations the FBI previously linked to the Holy Land Foundation investigation.
Senator Rick Scott introduced the Senate version of the No Tax-Exemptions for Terror Act, specifically naming CAIR. The bill seeks to revoke the group's charitable non-profit designation, effectively subjecting it to standard federal income taxation due to alleged extremist connections.
The House passed H.R. 9495, which allows the Treasury Secretary to strip tax-exempt status from 'terrorist-supporting' groups. Critics, including CAIR and the ACLU, warn the bill lacks due process and could be weaponized to silence advocacy groups and civil rights organizations.
