Bill > S762

This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to deny immigration benefits to any foreign individuals who were involved in Hamas's terrorist attacks against Israel on October 7, 2023. Specifically, the bill expands existing immigration law to make any alien who carried out, participated in, planned, financed, supported, or facilitated these attacks inadmissible to the United States. The legislation also renders such individuals ineligible for any immigration relief, including asylum and other protective statutes. The bill broadens definitions to include senior members, representatives, officials, and spokespersons of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad as potentially ineligible for immigration benefits. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit an annual report to Congress detailing the number of individuals found inadmissible or removable under these new provisions. The legislation is a direct response to the Hamas attacks on Israel, aiming to ensure that individuals connected to these terrorist actions cannot enter or remain in the United States.
