Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act

This bill changes U.S. immigration rules to say that people linked to certain terrorist groups—or who publicly support those groups’ terrorist acts—are treated as “engaged in terrorist activity.” This can make them inadmissible to the United States under immigration law. The groups named are Hamas, Hezbollah, Al‑Qaeda, ISIS, Palestine Islamic Jihad, and the Palestine Liberation Organization, plus any successor or affiliate groups.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Officers, officials, representatives, spokespersons, and members of the named groups; and people who endorse or espouse terrorist activities by those groups.
• What changes: These individuals would be treated as engaged in terrorist activity for immigration purposes, which can block visas and entry to the U.S..
• When: This would apply if and when the bill becomes law.
