This bill would amend immigration law to prohibit entry to the United States for any foreign national who adheres to Sharia law, which is Islamic religious law. The Secretary of State, Secretary of Homeland Security, and Attorney General would be authorized to deny visas, immigration benefits, and admission based on this criterion, and could revoke immigration status for individuals already in the country found to adhere to Sharia law. The legislation also establishes penalties for providing false statements about Sharia law adherence during immigration proceedings, making such individuals subject to deportation. Notably, the bill specifies that decisions made under this law cannot be challenged in court—they are final and not subject to judicial review. The bill contains no funding authorization or implementation timeline, as it primarily establishes new grounds for visa denial and deportation.
