A federal judge has determined that the [[Justice Department]] provided "ample evidence" to designate CAIR as an unindicted [[terrorist]] co-conspirator, in fact a front for Hamas. The ruling, handed down July 1, 2010, was unsealed on November 26, 2010.<ref>[https://www.wnd.com/files/1425.pdf UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT Ruling]</ref><ref>[https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-5th-circuit/1541982.html UNITED STATES OF AMERICA v.

==With neo-Nazi Baker==
