Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The No Flights for Terrorists Act would require the FBI to add individuals to the government's No Fly List if they have publicly supported designated foreign terrorist organizations, encouraged violence against Jewish people, or been disciplined by colleges and universities for such conduct. The bill specifically names ten terrorist organizations, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and would apply to students and professors at institutions of higher education who face disciplinary action related to supporting these groups or promoting violence. The legislation would place enforcement authority with the FBI Director and the Terrorist Screening Center, which maintains the No Fly List that prevents individuals from boarding commercial aircraft. The bill contains no explicit funding provisions or implementation timeline, meaning it would operate within existing federal agency budgets if enacted. This legislation directly affects anyone who publicly expresses support for the designated terrorist organizations or incites violence against Jewish people, as well as students and faculty members at accredited universities and colleges nationwide.
