Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act

# Terrorist Inadmissibility Codification Act (HR 3926) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would codify into law existing executive branch rules that prevent individuals designated as terrorists or with terrorist connections from entering the United States. Rather than relying on executive orders or administrative policies that can change with different administrations, the bill would make these restrictions permanent federal law. The legislation essentially converts existing terrorism-related exclusion practices into statute form. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect foreign nationals seeking to enter the U.S., particularly those with alleged ties to terrorist organizations or individuals designated as terrorists. Immigration officials would use these codified standards when reviewing visa applications, asylum claims, and entry requests.

It could also affect humanitarian efforts, family reunification cases, and refugee admissions if applicants have any connections to designated terrorist entities. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 3926 remains in committee and has not advanced to a floor vote. The bill was introduced by Representative August Pfluger (R-TX) in the 119th Congress. No major actions have been taken on the legislation since its introduction.
