## Summary

**This bill would designate the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates as terrorist organizations and impose new immigration bans and sanctions.** It pairs clear definitions of membership and branches with fast timelines for visa revocations, presidential sanctions, and annual reporting to Congress. - People identified as Muslim Brotherhood members would be ineligible for visas, admission, or parole, and the bill allows immediate revocation of current visas based on credible evidence of membership. - Organizations identified as Muslim Brotherhood branches would face designation as foreign terrorist organizations and as Specially Designated Global Terrorists, with financial and travel sanctions under Executive Order 13224. The President must impose sanctions on the Muslim Brotherhood within 90 days and on branches within 30 days after a positive report, and sanctions cannot be lifted for four years after a positive determination. - The bill defines key terms, including "United States person" to cover U.S. citizens, permanent residents, foreign nationals residing in the U.S., and U.S. entities and their foreign branches. It requires an annual unclassified report to relevant congressional committees, with a possible classified annex, identifying branches and assessing whether they meet designation criteria.
