To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to repeal an exception to the terrorism-related ground for inadmissibility, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill repeals an exception in immigration law that allowed certain individuals with connections to terrorism to be admitted to the United States under specific circumstances. The bill makes any foreign national who was admitted under this exception between January 20, 2021 and the date of enactment of this bill deportable. The legislation tightens terrorism-related grounds for admission by eliminating a waiver that previously allowed some individuals with terrorism-related grounds to enter the country.
