Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to prohibit the entry of aliens who adhere to Sharia law and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act," aims to prevent individuals who adhere to Sharia law (a religious legal system derived from Islamic religious principles) from entering or remaining in the United States. Specifically, the bill would require the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security, along with the Attorney General, to deny visas, immigration benefits, and admission to any alien (non-citizen) who follows Sharia law. If an immigrant is found to be an adherent of Sharia law, they would have their immigration status revoked and be subject to removal from the United States. The bill also includes provisions that would invalidate an immigrant's status if they fail to disclose their adherence to Sharia law, treating such omission as a false statement. Importantly, the bill includes a non-reviewability clause that would prevent any court from reviewing the immigration decisions made under this act, effectively giving federal officials complete discretion in implementing these restrictions. The bill represents a significant and unprecedented attempt to use religious belief as a basis for immigration exclusion.
