No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act
This bill amends U.S. immigration law to bar individuals who participated in, supported, or facilitated Hamas attacks against Israel beginning October 7, 2023, from entering the U.S. or receiving immigration benefits. It adds a new inadmissibility category (212(a)(3)(H)) and explicitly bars such individuals from all immigration relief, including asylum under Section 208. The law directly affects aliens involved in Hamas attacks since October 7, 2023, by denying them entry, visas, and pathways to legal status. It also requires the Department of Homeland Security to report annually on individuals denied entry or removed under these provisions. The bill makes no changes to existing immigration categories beyond this specific exclusion.
