EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — Texas has officially designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal organizations.

This designation prohibits these groups from purchasing or acquiring land within the state, Governor Abbott announced on Tuesday.

Additionally, it grants the Texas Attorney General the authority to initiate legal action to shut them down.
