The bill strengthens executive authority to bar and remove people the government says adhere to Sharia law (argued as a security measure) but does so by applying a religion-based standard and removing judicial review, creating significant risks of religious discrimination, arbitrary enforcement, and legal and international consequences.
Noncitizens the government determines adhere to Sharia law would be denied visas or admission, reducing the entry of individuals identified under that standard.
Federal agencies would have clearer, centralized authority to revoke immigration benefits and remove individuals found to adhere to Sharia law, streamlining enforcement decisions.
Muslims and others who adhere to Sharia law — including lawful residents and visa-holders — could be denied benefits and deported solely for religious adherence, creating major First Amendment and religious-discrimination harms.
The bill bars judicial review of removals and denials, preventing courts from hearing constitutional or statutory challenges and removing a key check on government action.
Broad, nonreviewable executive power concentrates authority in agencies and raises the risk of wrongful, arbitrary denials and removals without meaningful oversight.

Prohibits admission, visas, immigration relief, and other immigration benefits to any noncitizen who is determined to adhere to Sharia law, and requires revocation of existing immigration benefits for such individuals. It directs DHS, State, and DOJ to remove and deport persons found to adhere to Sharia law, makes false statements about adherence a ground for removal, and declares those executive-branch determinations final and not reviewable by courts.
