CAIR: Romin Iqbal, lawyer accused of spying on Muslim rights group, forfeits Ohio law license – Columbus Dispatch
In December 2021, the CAIR national office reported that Iqbal shared emails, meeting recordings and strategic plans with IPT. It also showed emails between the group’s leader, Steve Emerson, and his staff, as well as emails from Iqbal to Emerson and between Emerson and Israeli government officials.
Ohio Supreme Court Justice Pat Fischer was the only judge to vote against accepting Iqbal’s resignation, citing a lack of transparency.
“As I have said before, resignation-with-discipline-pending cases are sealed proceedings that pose a transparency problem because the public is not allowed access to information that has been provided to this court by disciplinary counsel in such cases,” he wrote in his dissent.
Though he was unable to reveal the reasons for the disciplinary action, Fischer cited a series of reports by The Dispatch detailing Iqbal’s alleged spying on CAIR-Ohio staff.

He added, “Pausing a genocide for six weeks is not acceptable; the genocide must permanently end.”
