This bill would direct the Secretary of State to officially designate MS-13, a major criminal gang, as a foreign terrorist organization under existing law. The designation would automatically apply to any successor organizations. Additionally, the legislation amends immigration law to classify members, officers, and representatives of MS-13 as having engaged in terrorist activity, which would make them ineligible for entry into the United States and subject to deportation. The bill contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timelines beyond requiring action upon enactment. This legislation would primarily affect gang members and those with MS-13 affiliations seeking to enter or remain in the United States, while also giving federal authorities stronger legal tools to address the gang's activities.
