A newly released briefing from a well-known nonpartisan research and policy organization raises what it describes as significant ethical and national security issues involving Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, focusing on her relationships with individuals and groups connected to designated foreign terrorist organizations, Fox News reports.

According to the document, published by the advocacy and policy arm of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, the concerns stem from a broad review of Tlaib’s public conduct and political operations. “The conduct of Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, including her rhetoric, affiliations, campaign infrastructure, and ideological alignment with certain individuals and organizations, raises serious concerns about potential risks to the ethical and institutional integrity of the United States government,” the report states.

The briefing outlines what it characterizes as a consistent pattern in Tlaib’s activities, pointing to episodes that include participation in events where convicted terrorists were present, as well as substantial campaign expenditures directed to activists and networks it says are linked to Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

A significant portion of the document examines Tlaib’s campaign finances, asserting that her political operation directed hundreds of thousands of dollars to anti-Israel activists. The report claims that nearly $600,000 was paid between 2020 and 2025 to Unbought Power, a consulting firm led by Rasha Mubarak.

Mubarak, the briefing notes, has previously drawn scrutiny because of past associations with the Council on American-Islamic Relations, identified in the 2009 Holy Land Foundation case as an unindicted co-conspirator, and with the Alliance for Global Justice, an organization that has been investigated over alleged ties to Samidoun, a group linked to the PFLP.

The report also highlights Tlaib’s appearances at public events alongside controversial figures. It cites a conference where she shared a platform with Wisam Rafeedie, described in the briefing as a convicted PFLP operative, who defended the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack as “resistance.”

Summarizing its assessment, the document states: “Through public endorsement, co-sponsorship, and amplification, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has consistently engaged with a range of organizations known to maintain operational or ideological ties to terrorist networks.” It continues, “Tlaib has engaged with and disseminated the messaging of these groups and has shared related content on social media platforms, has participated in events organized by these groups, and has referenced their terminology and conceptual frameworks in official congressional communications.”

The briefing notes that allegations of sympathy toward hostile foreign actors are not new for the Michigan congresswoman, pointing out that the House of Representatives has already taken formal action against her on two occasions.

In November 2023, Tlaib was censured for promoting what were described as false narratives about the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks. Another resolution followed in September 2025 after her participation in the “People’s Conference for Palestine,” an event where speakers were accused of having “whitewashed” convicted Hamas financiers.

ISGAP Action also revisits Tlaib’s past remarks, asserting that she has repeatedly used antisemitic language. The report references an August 2021 appearance in which Tlaib spoke of “people behind the curtain” profiting from “racism” from “Gaza to Detroit.”

Beyond documenting concerns, the briefing urges concrete steps by federal authorities. It calls for a formal congressional investigation into Tlaib’s actions, including a review of statements it says echo terrorist messaging, her presence at events honoring convicted terrorists, and a comprehensive examination of her campaign fundraising sources.

The document further recommends that the Justice Department’s National Security Division evaluate whether Tlaib or those associated with her have violated 18 U.S. Code §2339B, which bans providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations.

In addition, the report urges the Federal Election Commission to conduct a detailed forensic audit of Tlaib’s campaign finances, with particular attention to donations originating from individuals allegedly connected to terrorist networks.

Concluding its assessment, the briefing warns of broader implications. “Tlaib’s conduct demonstrates how extremist ideologies can infiltrate mainstream democratic institutions,” the report concludes. “If left unchecked, her actions will continue to legitimize hate.”

The document also references a separate ISGAP Action report issued last year that examined what it described as a long-term effort by the Muslim Brotherhood to “transform Western society from within” and to infiltrate American institutions.

That earlier report stated, “The election and re-election of congresswomen such as Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), who have openly defended positions aligned with Brotherhood perspectives on Israel, counterterrorism, and international relations, demonstrates the intersection of identity politics and Brotherhood narratives.”

It added, “While neither congresswoman has a documented formal affiliation with the Muslim Brotherhood, both have appeared at events organized by Brotherhood-aligned organizations, have received campaign support from Brotherhood-aligned donors, and have consistently advocated positions aligned with Brotherhood objectives.”
