BOOT Sharia Law Act
This bill, known as the BOOT Sharia Law Act, amends U.S. immigration laws to bar individuals from obtaining asylum, refugee status, or permanent residency if they support Sharia law or protest against the U.S. Constitution. It specifically excludes from refugee protections anyone who uses force or coercion to enforce Islamic values, promote conversions to Islam, or establish Islam as a state religion. The legislation also allows for the removal of permanent resident status for those who demonstrate support for designated terrorist groups or oppose American government principles.
