“ICE is conducting a targeted, systematic campaign against our Afghan community using deceptive tactics,” Reshad Noorzay, executive director of CAIR-SV/CC, said in the news release “Community members are being called into ICE’s Sacramento office at 650 Capitol Mall for what they believe are routine appointments — and they’re being arrested the moment they walk through the door. This is entrapment. This is cruel. And this is happening right now in our community.”
Greg Abbott’s CAIR ‘terror’ label stokes legal fight in Texas’s long struggle with Islamophobia – The Guardian
Edward Ahmed Mitchell, CAIR’S national deputy director, believes these recent wins have “drawn Governor Abbott’s hostility”. In an interview with the Guardian, he argued the governor is trying to turn conspiracy theories into policy.
For instance, the governor’s proclamation names eight people who have supposed ties to “terrorism-related activities”.
“In terms of the specific people mentioned, some of these people have no connection to Cair whatsoever,” Mitchell said. “Some of them may have committed a crime and were rightfully prosecuted for that crime, which CAIR had nothing to do with. And in some cases, CAIR actually has stood up for someone who was wrongfully charged with a crime they did not commit.”
