Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has pledged to rescind the state's designation by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a terrorist organization, a move imposed by outgoing Republican Governor Greg Abbott in November 2025.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Hinojosa criticized Abbott's move, saying public safety resources should be used to protect the public rather than promote political controversy.
She is expected to take up her post in January 2027.
