Bill > HR4397

This bill requires the President to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization and imposes significant legal and immigration restrictions on the group and its members. The legislation defines the Muslim Brotherhood broadly, including its global branches in multiple countries, and specifically links the organization to Hamas, which it describes as a terrorist group responsible for the October 7, 2023 attacks in Israel. The bill mandates that the Secretary of State submit an annual report identifying all Muslim Brotherhood branches worldwide and determining whether they meet terrorist organization criteria. It also requires the President to impose sanctions on the Muslim Brotherhood and its branches, including designating them as foreign terrorist organizations and blocking their financial transactions. Additionally, the bill establishes immigration restrictions that would make Muslim Brotherhood members ineligible for visas, admission to the United States, or parole, with the Secretary of State required to revoke existing visas for identified members. The legislation expands existing anti-terrorism laws to explicitly include the Muslim Brotherhood, treating it similarly to how the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) has been previously addressed, and provides comprehensive definitions of terms like "Muslim Brotherhood member" and "Muslim Brotherhood branch" to ensure broad application of these restrictions.
