CAIR is still believed to be a front group for terrorist groups muslim brotherhood and hamas.
An FBI Reponse to Evidence collected during a Hamas-financing investigation connected CAIR and its founders within a Hamas-support network in the United States called the Palestine Committee, SAID, "[U]ntil we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and HAMAS, the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner."
The policy remains in effect, but somehow, dozens of members of Congress are comfortable endorsing CAIR anyway….at CAIR's recent national banquet and fundraiser outside Washington, D.C. The Oct. 19 event drew letters of support and congratulations from 101 elected officials and candidates, nearly all Democrats. That group includes 17 U.S. senators, including likely presidential candidates Amy Klobuchar and other prominent Democratic senator Tina Smith and Keith Ellison…signing salutation letters to CAIR.
