This bill would deny immigration benefits to any foreign national who carried out, participated in, planned, financed, or otherwise supported Hamas attacks against Israel beginning on October 7, 2023. The legislation amends federal immigration law to make such individuals inadmissible to the United States and ineligible for any form of immigration relief, including asylum, and establishes grounds for their removal from the country. The bill also includes Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad officers and representatives alongside the Palestine Liberation Organization as terrorist organizations whose members can be denied entry. The Department of Homeland Security must report to Congress annually, beginning one year after the bill's enactment, on how many individuals have been found inadmissible under this provision and how many have been ordered removed. The legislation contains no specific funding amounts or implementation timelines beyond the annual reporting requirement.
