H.R. 3724 would broadly restrict immigration benefits and entry to the United States for Palestinians and individuals from Palestinian-administered territories. Specifically, the bill would cancel an existing executive order granting deferred enforced departure (work authorization) to certain Palestinians, and would make Palestinians ineligible for temporary protected status, asylum, refugee status, and parole into the country. The legislation would also make Palestinians inadmissible and deportable if they either habitually resided in Gaza or the West Bank or hold a Palestinian Authority-issued passport. The bill contains no specific funding or implementation timeline, as it primarily eliminates existing protections and modifies eligibility rules through changes to immigration law. The measure would affect Palestinians currently in the United States who benefit from these programs, as well as future Palestinian applicants seeking any form of legal immigration status.
