This bill amends U.S. immigration law to expand the definition of "terrorist activity" for purposes of determining who can be admitted to the United States. Specifically, it designates officers, officials, representatives, spokespersons, and members of Hamas, Palestine Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS—as well as individuals who endorse or espouse terrorist activities by these groups—as engaged in terrorist activity under immigration law. The change affects the Immigration and Nationality Act's inadmissibility provisions, making these individuals ineligible for entry into the country. The bill was introduced in November 2025 and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, with no specific funding or implementation timeline mentioned in the legislation. This codifies existing terrorist designations into immigration law rather than creating new restrictions or appropriating funds.
