HR 3926 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.
Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act
To consider, for purposes of the Immigration and Nationality Act, that officers, officials, representatives, spokespersons, and members of Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, Palestine Islamic Jihad, and ISIS, and individuals who endorse or espouse terrorist activities conducted by such organizations are engaged in terrorist activity.
Summary
This bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to codify that members, officers, officials, representatives, and spokespersons of Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, Palestine Islamic Jihad, ISIS, and their successor or affiliate groups are considered engaged in terrorist activity. The bill also applies this designation to individuals who endorse or espouse terrorist activities conducted by these organizations. As a result, these individuals would be deemed inadmissible to the United States under immigration law. The bill expands upon existing law that previously addressed only the Palestine Liberation Organization.
