Winsor of the Northern District of Florida rejected CAIR's emergency request to block the designation. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who won reelection Tuesday over Democrat Jose Javier Rodriguez, confirmed the news on social media Thursday, the day the designation took effect.
He called the ruling a "great win by our Solicitor General's office and for the people of Florida." This morning, a federal court upheld Florida's Domestic Terrorist Organization law and rejected CAIR's attempt to stop the designations.
