No Hezbollah In Our Hemisphere Act

# No Hezbollah In Our Hemisphere Act - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill, sponsored by Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC), aims to prevent Hezbollah—a militant organization designated as a terrorist group by the U.S. State Department—from operating or establishing a presence in the Western Hemisphere (North, Central, and South America, and the Caribbean). The specific provisions of the bill are not publicly detailed in the available information, but the title suggests it would create legal measures or enforcement mechanisms to counter Hezbollah activities in these regions. **Who It Affects** The bill would affect U.S.

foreign policy and relationships with countries in the Americas, particularly those in Latin America and the Caribbean where Hezbollah has been reported to have operational or financial networks. It could impact government agencies responsible for national security and counter-terrorism efforts, as well as individuals or entities involved in supporting Hezbollah. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full vote in the House of Representatives. No action has been taken on it since introduction, so it has not become law.
