This country has a long-standing system and rule of law when it comes to asylum and the immigration process as a whole. The administration cannot just enact policies that circumvent these laws and expect our justice system to not enforce the law. We are pleased with the decision by the court, and it only affirms that USCIS cannot decline to perform its duties to adjudicate asylum applications as provided by the laws of this country. @CAIRWashington continues to fight for our clients to ensure that they are afforded due process just like everyone else and hold this government accountable.

If you’re experiencing discrimination, harassment, or your campus is a hostile environment for Muslim students or those speaking out for justice, report it. Your report helps us identify and hold institutions accountable when they suppress free speech and undermine academic freedom.

Schools can and should normalize Eid the same way they recognize other major holidays.

Muslim students should not have to choose between their faith and their education. Simple steps like excused absences, avoiding major exams, and clear communication with families help create inclusive school environments for everyone.

CAIR’s Eid Everywhere Toolkit gives educators and parents practical guidance on how to make that happen.

The horror my classmates in Parkland experienced on 2/14/2018 is all the children in Palestine have ever known.

Millions of people marched in the streets for us.

In America, the mass murders of brown, Muslim children are written off as negligible if even addressed at all.

According to Cair's research, topping the list of the most "hostile" campuses are Columbia University and the City University of New York (Cuny), both located in New York City

We want to take a moment to applaud the courage of our CAIR-Texas team. The very next day after Governor @GregAbbott_TX issued his unconstitutional and defamatory proclamation, the CAIR-Texas team went to work as usual while signing off on a federal lawsuit and preparing to testify at a state Board of Education hearing in defense of student rights.

Before that hearing started, security warned members of our CAIR-Texas team that a suspicious individual had entered the building and demanded to know if any CAIR leaders were present. While this man was searching for our staff, the CAIR-Texas team was given the option of leaving the building with a police escort. They declined. Each of them stayed and delivered their testimony.

As a civil rights organization, CAIR was founded to both shield the American Muslim community from hate and protect every American's right to exercise free speech, practice their own faith, and speak up for justice here and abroad. Being a shield means taking arrows.

CAIR-Texas has been a shining example of courage under fire and an inspiration to our entire organization, alhamdulillah (praise and thanks to God). We applaud them, we stand with them, and we encourage all Americans to continue speaking up for due process, free speech, and religious freedom in the face of Greg Abbott's latest attempt to silence critics of a foreign government. @cairhouston @CAIRAustin @cairdfw

BREAKING: CAIR congratulates @ZohranKMamdani on his historic election as Mayor of New York City and we congratulate the people of New York City, including many New York Muslims, for exercising their right to vote in massive numbers.

The election of New York City's first Muslim mayor represents a historic turning point for American Muslim political engagement. Mayor-Elect Mamdani's ability to win while openly advocating for Palestinian human rights and experiencing a barrage of anti-Muslim hate also marks a historic rebuke of both Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism in politics.

We commend the college students and other young people in New York City who, just one year after being smeared and brutalized for protesting the genocide in Gaza, helped elect a mayor who vocally opposes that genocide and supports the right to peaceful protest.

Regardless of whether anyone agrees with Mayor-Elect Mamdani's stances on various policies issues, all Americans should celebrate our nation for once again showing that America is a place where people of all races, faiths and backgrounds can make history. #NYC

We condemn last night’s deadly attack on Israeli embassy employees in Washington, D.C.

While millions of Americans feel extreme frustration at the sight of the Israeli government slaughtering Palestinian men, women and children on a daily basis with weapons paid for by our taxpayer dollars, political violence is an unacceptable crime and is not the answer. Period.

Such violence only undermines the pursuit of justice. Peaceful protest, civil disobedience and political engagement are the only appropriate and acceptable tools to advocate for policy change in our nation, including an end to U.S. support for the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.

In the face of a hostile government crackdown on dissent, it’s more important than ever for students to take steps to protect themselves.

As part of our Unhostile Campus campaign, we've released the Student Protest Guide which offers tools to help you stay safe while speaking out against genocide and injustice. Silence only helps the oppressor. Know your rights, organize responsibly, and protect your community.

.@CAIRFlorida rep is concerned about students' right to speak out against #Israel's #GazaGenocide‌.

[CAIR National @CAIRNational]

Our new report, Unconstitutional Crackdowns, documents a historic rise in Islamophobia, with 8,658 complaints filed in 2024, the highest recorded in our nearly 30-year history.

The report highlights an increase in viewpoint discrimination, particularly against those advocating for Palestinian rights. Employment discrimination topped all reported incidents, while law enforcement encounters surged 71.5%, often in response to campus protests.
