Unmasking Hamas Act of 2025

HR 2065, the Unmasking Hamas Act of 2025, would make it a federal crime to injure, threaten, or intimidate someone while wearing a disguise (including a mask) in order to interfere with their exercise of constitutional or legal rights. It would impose fines or up to 15 years in prison for such acts, and add a mandatory 2-year prison term for property destruction committed while masked. The bill directly affects individuals who wear masks during protests or demonstrations that disrupt protected rights or damage property, applying to all locations under federal jurisdiction. The law focuses on criminalizing masked conduct that interferes with rights or property, not on the specific content of protests.
