Hamas Supporters Have No Home Here Act
HR 8221, the "Hamas Supporters Have No Home Here Act," amends U.S. immigration law to bar non-citizens charged with crimes related to participating in pro-terrorism or antisemitism rallies from entering or remaining in the United States. The bill adds new inadmissibility grounds under Section 212(a)(3) and makes such individuals ineligible for deportation relief under Section 241(b)(3). It directly affects non-citizens facing criminal charges tied to these specific types of demonstrations, regardless of whether they are charged with supporting Hamas specifically. The law changes existing immigration procedures to automatically deny entry or removal relief for those convicted of crimes connected to these rallies.
