Bill > HR176

This bill aims to prevent individuals involved with Hamas's October 7, 2023 attacks against Israel from receiving U.S. immigration benefits. Specifically, the bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make any alien who carried out, participated in, planned, financed, supported, or facilitated Hamas's attacks inadmissible to the United States. The legislation also renders such individuals ineligible for any immigration relief, including asylum or other protective measures. The bill expands existing terrorism-related immigration restrictions by explicitly adding Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and their members to the list of groups that can trigger immigration exclusion. Additionally, the Secretary of Homeland Security is required to submit an annual report to Congress detailing the number of aliens found inadmissible or removable under these new provisions. The bill's provisions are retroactive to the Hamas attacks that began on October 7, 2023, and represent a targeted legislative response to those specific terrorist actions against Israel.
