Inhibiting Militant Adversarial Mullahs Act
This bill prohibits the issuance of religious worker visas to individuals holding specific high-ranking titles in Islam, including ayatollahs, grand ayatollahs, imams, grand imams, muftis, grand muftis, and shaykhas. The law directly affects foreign nationals seeking to enter the United States under the R visa category for religious work, effectively barring those with these designated titles from admission. By amending the Immigration and Nationality Act, the legislation creates a blanket restriction based solely on religious hierarchy rather than individual conduct or specific activities.
