This bill requires the President to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization and impose sanctions against it and its affiliated branches within 90 days of enactment. The legislation expands existing anti-terrorism laws to include the Muslim Brotherhood alongside the PLO, citing connections between the organization and Hamas, and claims that Muslim Brotherhood branches have destabilized U.S. allies in the Middle East. The Secretary of State must submit annual reports to Congress identifying all Muslim Brotherhood branches worldwide and determining whether they meet criteria for terrorist designation, with the President required to impose sanctions on any branches making positive determinations within 30 days of each report. The bill also bans Muslim Brotherhood members from obtaining U.S. visas and entry, with current visas subject to immediate revocation, and mandates a minimum four-year period before sanctions can be removed. No specific funding is allocated in the legislation, though implementation would fall to the State Department and relevant law enforcement agencies.
