Texas Court Orders Terror-Front CAIR to Disclose Major Donors and Travel Records

By Pamela Geller - on May 7, 2026

The ruling by U.S. District Judge Alan D. Albright demands documents on donors giving $5,000 or more over the past decade, including foreign sources, plus recipients of CAIR’s larger donations and itineraries for Executive Director Nihad Awad’s trips to nine Middle Eastern countries from 2019 to 2023. The order stems from CAIR’s lawsuit challenging Abbott’s November 2025 proclamation labeling CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations under Texas law, which bars them from buying land in the state. Abbott called the decision progress in his legal fight, while the case highlights debates over transparency, terror allegations, and civil rights protections, with discovery still ongoing.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott made enormous strides in his legal fight against CAIR. Abbott declared CAIR a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

The terror group sued to block it. So he demanded CAIR give turn over its donor list and details for Nihad Awad’s travel to nine countries hosting Islamic terror.

A federal court granted his request.

For those of working to expose this terror tied group for decades, this is a major victory.

🚨 JUST IN: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has DEFEATED Islamic terror organization CAIR in the courts — the group must now TURN OVER

Progress in my legal fight against CAIR.

I declared CAIR a Foreign Terrorist Organization.

They sued to block it.

I demanded CAIR give us its donor list, donee list, and details for Nihad Awad’s travel to 9 countries hosting Islamic terror.

As Attorney General, I look forward to working with @GregAbbott_TX to sue all the organizations trying to Islamify Texas – follow the money – and shut them down. https://t.co/33MX6gvRCd

This means that CAIR will have to provide Texas with a list of its donors who gave their organization $5,000+ over the last 10 years.

This will help determine/prove if the group is indeed a foreign terrorist organization or not – especially if it's revealed that they're tied… https://t.co/v4fO4Tqa18
