This bill makes any foreign national who carried out, planned, funded, or supported the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks automatically inadmissible to the US. It bars such individuals from asylum, withholding of removal, or other immigration relief, and allows their deportation on these grounds. It also adds Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas to the list of barred terrorist organizations under existing law.
This affects foreign nationals seeking to enter or remain in the US who are found to have participated in or supported the October 7 attacks. It does not change immigration rules for the general public or unrelated immigrants.
The change would strip legal protections and entry rights from a specific group tied to the attacks, and require DHS to track and report annually how many people are affected.
