No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act

Relatives of designated foreign threats barred

This bill would create a new rule that bars "covered family members" of certain foreign threat actors from entering or getting legal status in the U.S. Covered family members would include spouse or former spouse; parent or parent-in-law; child or stepchild; sibling (including half-siblings); grandparent or grandchild; and niece or nephew. "Covered foreign threat actors" would include people designated as specially designated global terrorists, senior leaders of designated foreign terrorist organizations, senior officials of state sponsors or foreign adversaries (examples cited include Iran, China, Russia, DPRK, and Cuba), and people sanctioned under the Global Magnitsky Act, IEEPA, or similar laws for corruption or human rights abuses. The bill would make these relatives inadmissible and deportable, require DHS to prioritize their removal, bar cancellation of removal and adjustment of status unless the bill allows otherwise, require State to revoke visas within 30 days of a finding, and authorize "such sums as may be necessary" to carry out these rules. The changes would take effect on enactment and apply to pending visa, admission, and status applications and to aliens already admitted.
