Nov. 19 (UPI) -- Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott has designated two Muslim groups, including the United States' largest, on accusations of being terrorist organizations.
The proclamation from Abbott, a Republican and President Donald Trump ally, designates the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations.
The designation puts both organizations and their members under "heightened enforcement" while prohibiting them from purchasing or acquiring land in the Lone Star State.
Abbott blacklisted them by claiming they want to "forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam's 'mastership of the world.'" No proof of either claim was provided.
