| | The Turkish Government gives a special priority to major infrastructure projects, especially in the transport sector. The government is in the process of building new airports and highways, thanks to an increased public investment budget. The government will realize many of these projects by utilizing the build-operate-transfer (BOT) model. | | The Turkish Government gives a special priority to major infrastructure projects, especially in the transport sector.

| | + | CAIR Political Arm Operating Illegally in 22 States, Linked to Turkish Gov't.<ref>Mathilda Heller, [https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-879761 CAIR Political Arm Operating Illegally in 22 States, Linked to Turkish Gov't]., The Jerusalem Post, Dec 9, 2025 </ref> |
| | + | |
| | + | Key Findings from NCRI and IAN Report (Published Dec. 9, 2025). |
| | + | - Illegal Operations: CAIR Action, the 501(c)(4) political arm of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), is soliciting donations, collecting membership dues, and coordinating voter mobilization in 22 U.S. states without required licenses or registrations for political nonprofits. It also lacks a Basic Business License in Washington, DC (its incorporation site) and operates under an insufficient out-of-state nonprofit registration in California that bars fundraising. |
| | + | - Legal Implications: This renders CAIR Action an unlicensed interstate political entity, exposing it to federal crimes (e.g., wire fraud, deceptive solicitation, IRS false statements) and state-level enforcement. As CAIR National's overt political extension, the parent organization shares liability. |
| | + | - Foreign Ties: Evidence points to Turkish government alignment, including sponsorships by state-linked Turkish Airlines, events at the Turkish Diyanet Center, CAIR leaders on state broadcaster TRT World, and app routing via the Turkey App Store. The report describes this as a "converging pattern of foreign-state alignment" in a broader ecosystem of unregistered political influence. |
| | + | |
| | + | Referrals and Actions. |
| | + | - NCRI and Intelligent Advocacy Network have urgently referred CAIR Action to the DOJ, FBI, FTC, and IRS for investigation. |
| | + | |
| | + | Related Development: Florida's Terror Designation. |
| | + | - On Dec. 9, 2025, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued an executive order immediately designating CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations, following Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's similar action Nov. 2025. |
