Terrorist designation and sanctions on Houthis
The bill would require the President to label Ansarallah a foreign terrorist group within 30 days of enactment. Within 30 days after that label, the President would report to two congressional committees. That report would judge whether three named people are officials, agents, or affiliates. The names are Abdul Malik al‑Houthi, Abd al‑Khaliq Badr al‑Din al‑Houthi, and Abdullah Yahya al‑Hakim. For this section, "Ansarallah" would mean the Houthi movement and any alias. If enacted, this could enable sanctions and terrorism tools against the group and linked people.
