This bill would prohibit the Department of Defense from using any of its appropriated funds to transport Palestinian refugees to the United States. The restriction applies specifically to DoD aircraft operations used for such transportation purposes. The bill does not establish new funding or specify an implementation timeline, but rather restricts how existing or future DoD budget authority can be used. The legislation would affect the Defense Department's ability to participate in any refugee resettlement operations involving Palestinians, though it does not prevent other federal agencies from conducting such operations. The bill was introduced in July 2024 and referred to the House Armed Services Committee.
