HR 176 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act of 2025
Summary
This bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to make inadmissible and deportable any alien who carried out, participated in, planned, financed, or provided material support to attacks against Israel initiated by Hamas beginning on October 7, 2023. The bill adds Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad to the existing list of terrorist organizations in immigration law and makes aliens involved in these attacks ineligible for any immigration relief, including asylum. The bill requires the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit annual reports to Congress detailing the number of aliens found inadmissible or removable under these provisions.
