Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act
This bill amends U.S. immigration law to expand the definition of "aliens engaged in terrorist activity" under the Immigration and Nationality Act. It adds specific groups - Hamas, Palestine Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, and ISIS - to the list of entities whose members or supporters would be barred from entering the U.S. The change replaces a prior reference to the Palestine Liberation Organization's spokesperson with a broader inclusion of these designated groups and their affiliates. Individuals who are members of these groups, act as their spokespersons, or endorse their terrorist activities would now be subject to immigration inadmissibility. This directly affects foreign nationals associated with these organizations seeking U.S. visas or entry.
