The caucus have introduced a number of bills, including one that would designate the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a terrorist organization. The group also introduced H.R. 6225, which would immediately halt all immigration to the United States pending further reforms to immigration law.
Reception In February 2026, the Council on American–Islamic Relations announced they were designating the caucus an "anti-Muslim hate group". CAIR suggested that the caucus were attempting to pass legislation to criminalize Islam. Both the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee and the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations have expressed opposition to the caucus.
On June 8, 2026, 119 congressional Democrats issued a letter condemning the caucus, which they labelled Islamophobic.
