No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act

# No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act (S 762) **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would prohibit individuals designated as members or supporters of Hamas from receiving any immigration benefits in the United States. This includes preventing them from obtaining visas, green cards, citizenship, asylum, or other immigration-related protections. The legislation aims to ensure that people associated with Hamas—designated by the U.S. government as a terrorist organization—cannot use the immigration system to enter or remain in the country. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions:** The bill would primarily affect foreign nationals with connections to Hamas.

It would apply to anyone the government determines to be a member or material supporter of the organization. The measure works within existing immigration law frameworks, which already have provisions denying benefits to terrorists, but this bill would specifically codify restrictions related to Hamas. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill is in committee (S 762, 119th Congress), meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. It was sponsored by Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN). The bill remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
