Stop Importing Terrorism Act

This bill tightens U.S. immigration rules related to terrorism. It removes an existing exception that had allowed some people with certain terrorism-related issues to still be let into the country. It also says that anyone who entered the U.S. using that exception on or after January 20, 2021, up to when this becomes law, could be deported.

Key points

• Who is affected: Noncitizens who might have been allowed in under a terrorism-related exception, and their families and communities.
• What changes: The exception is repealed; people admitted under it during the listed dates become deportable.
• When: Applies going forward after it becomes law, and reaches back to entries from January 20, 2021, to the date it’s enacted.
