Bill Summary
A bill to require the imposition of sanctions with respect to Ansarallah and its officials, agents, or affiliates for acts of international terrorism.
AI Summary
This bill requires the President to take specific actions against Ansarallah (also known as the Houthi movement), a group operating primarily in Yemen. Within 30 days of the bill's enactment, the President must officially designate Ansarallah as a foreign terrorist organization under the Immigration and Nationality Act, which would trigger various legal and diplomatic consequences. Additionally, the President must submit a determination to congressional foreign relations committees identifying specific individuals believed to be Ansarallah officials, agents, or affiliates, including Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Abd al-Khaliq Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and Abdullah Yahya al-Hakim. By requiring this designation, the bill aims to impose sanctions and increase pressure on the Houthi movement, which has been involved in ongoing conflicts in Yemen and has been accused of engaging in acts of international terrorism. The bill provides a clear definition of Ansarallah to ensure comprehensive coverage of the group under these potential sanctions.
