Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday announced that he is designating the Muslim Brotherhood as well as the Council on American Islamic Relations (Cair) - the largest civil liberties group for American Muslims - as both foreign terrorist organisations and transnational criminal organisations.

As a result, both groups would be barred "from purchasing or acquiring land" in the state of Texas, Abbott said.

The proclamation gives the state's attorney general leeway to sue the groups accordingly.
