The House Sharia Free America Caucus said Thursday that it has expanded to include another two dozen members so far, bringing its total number of members to 26 since its inception last month.

Texas GOP Reps. Chip Roy and Keith Self launched the caucus on Dec. 18, 2025, which was created to “counter the alarming rise of Sharia Law in the United States," claiming that it was not "compatible" with the U.S. Constitution.

The new lawmakers include House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, Florida GOP Reps. Byron Donalds, Randy Fine and Cory Mills, and Arizona GOP Rep. Andy Biggs. The new members hail from a total of 17 states.

“Preserving the American way of life is essential to protecting civil liberties and upholding the United States Constitution," Self said in a statement. "Sharia stands in direct opposition to our country and is totally anathema to the concept of individual freedom and our founding principles. I thank my House colleagues for joining this noble cause to save Western Civilization and fight back against the threat of Sharia.” 

Roy said he was "encouraged" to see more of his House Republicans colleagues joining the caucus, claiming the "preservation of America and Western civilization" depends on successfully challenging the rise of Sharia Law. 

“Sharia is a direct threat to our Constitution and Western values and seeks to replace our legal system and erode our basic freedoms" Roy said. "Our immigration system must be prepared to confront this challenge and defend our Judeo-Christian values."

Other new members include GOP Reps. Mike Kelly and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Andy Ogles of Tennessee, Ralph Norman of South Carolina and Andrew Clyde of Georgia.
