Bill > HR2606

This bill, called the "Stop Importing Terrorism Act," amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to eliminate an existing exception to terrorism-related grounds for inadmissibility. Specifically, the bill repeals clause (ii) of section 212(a)(3)(B), which previously allowed certain exceptions for individuals who might have been associated with terrorist activities. The legislation also includes a retroactive provision that makes any alien who was admitted to the United States under this now-repealed exception between January 20, 2021, and the date of the bill's enactment subject to deportation. By removing this exception, the bill aims to tighten immigration restrictions related to potential terrorism risks, making it more difficult for individuals with potential terrorist connections to enter or remain in the United States. The bill represents a legislative effort to enhance national security by closing what its sponsors likely view as a loophole in existing immigration law.
