Tighter entry rules for noncitizens with terror ties
This bill would broaden who is barred from entering the U.S. on terrorism grounds. If enacted, noncitizens who are members or spokespeople of Hamas, Hezbollah, Al‑Qaeda, ISIS, Palestine Islamic Jihad, or the Palestine Liberation Organization—and any successor or affiliate—would be treated as engaged in terrorist activity under immigration law. It would also cover people who endorse or espouse these groups’ terrorist acts. Visa denials and entry bans could increase for people in these categories. The change would take effect upon enactment.
