No Immigration Benefits for Hamas Terrorists Act of 2025

In Plain Language

This bill prevents people from entering the U.S. or getting asylum if they're members of Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, or the PLO, or if they participated in or helped with the October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel. It also blocks these individuals from getting protection if they'd face danger in their home country. The Department of Homeland Security must report to Congress each year how many people are kept out or deported under these rules.
