SAFE Act of 2023
HR 6211, the SAFE Act of 2023, prohibits U.S. immigration benefits for individuals holding passports issued by the Palestinian Authority. It blocks the issuance or renewal of visas, temporary protected status, asylum, refugee status, and parole for these individuals, and mandates the revocation of any such status granted on or after October 1, 2023. The bill also declares covered aliens inadmissible and requires immigration authorities to identify and remove Palestinians without lawful status who arrived after that date. This law directly affects Palestinian passport holders seeking to enter or remain in the United States through standard immigration pathways.
