National Muslim Rights Group to Open West Virginia Office
A national Muslim civil rights group plans to open an office in West Virginia.
The Charleston Gazette-Mail reports that the Council on American-Islamic Relations is looking for an executive director to lead the West Virginia branch.
National chapter director Lori Saroya says the Washington, D.C.-based organization hopes to open the West Virginia office in the next few months. The group has not announced a location yet.
The office would be the organization’s fifth to open in 2017. It currently operates more than 30 offices.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations has been opening more locations in particular since the election of President Donald Trump last year.
Trump has moved to ban travel to the United States from a handful of predominantly Muslim countries. Courts have continually blocked those attempts.
