No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act
This bill, known as the No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act, expands U.S. immigration rules to bar close relatives of designated terrorists, sanctioned corrupt officials, and senior leaders of hostile foreign governments from entering or remaining in the country. It directly affects spouses, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, and nieces or nephews of these individuals, making them inadmissible and deportable regardless of when their family relationship began. The legislation mandates that visas issued to these relatives be revoked within 30 days of their identification and explicitly denies them access to most forms of legal relief or waivers. Additionally, the bill requires government agencies to implement new screening procedures to detect these family ties and to submit annual reports detailing how many people were barred or removed under the new provisions.
