JP : In 22 states, CAIR Action solicits donations, collects membership dues, and coordinates votes, all without the license or registration required of political non-profits.

The political arm of the Council of American-Islamic Relations has been acting without legal authority, licenses, or registration in 22 American states, according to a joint report by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Intelligent Advocacy Network (IAN), first published in The Washington Free Beacon.

CAIR National is known for its radical anti-Israel activities, pro-Palestinian stance, and potential ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR Action is its political arm that operates as a national political-solicitation and voter-mobilization enterprise.

CAIR Action does have the ability to engage in political activity under its 501(c)(4) status. However, this is only the case if it complies with state and federal reporting laws and registrations, which the NCRI and IAN found was not the case in 22 states. In these 22 states, CAIR Action solicits donations, collects membership dues, and coordinates votes, all without the license or registration required of political nonprofits. 

Even in Washington, DC, where the group is incorporated and from where it directs its nationwide activity, CAIR Action has never obtained the Basic Business License it would need to be able to operate legally. In California, it is registered but only as an out-of-state nonprofit, which does not allow it to solicit funds. In the other states, there are no registrations.
