CAIR: How the Trump Admin Has Sown Fear Among Progressive Nonprofits – TPM
Edward Ahmed Mitchell, national deputy director at the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a nonprofit named in the CRC report, told TPM that pressure from the government was nothing new. Civil rights groups like CAIR have faced federal investigations and threats to revoke their nonprofit status going back decades, he said.
Mitchell was careful in the interview with TPM to delineate what he described as “Israel First extremists” from a those who support a foreign policy that “puts American interests first.”
“Within the Trump administration, there are Israel-first extremists who want to shred the Constitution for the benefit of a foreign government,” he said. “There are also people who truly do believe in putting America first and recognize that part of being American is tolerating, dissenting and opposing viewpoints.”
