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 designate Ansarallah (also known as the Houthi movement) as a foreign terrorist organization within 30 days of the Act's enactment, using the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The bill also mandates that the President submit a determination to congressional committees about specific individuals who are officials, agents, or affiliates of Ansarallah, namely 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 on Ansarallah for acts of international terrorism. The term "Ansarallah" is broadly defined to include the movement by its various names, ensuring comprehensive coverage of the organization. This legislative action is likely a response to the group's activities in Yemen and its involvement in regional conflicts, with the goal of increasing diplomatic and economic pressure on the organization.
