This bill proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act by repealing a specific exception to the terrorism-related ground for inadmissibility . This action would eliminate a provision that currently allows certain individuals, despite having associations or activities related to terrorism, to be admitted into the United States. The legislation aims to strengthen national security by making the criteria for inadmissibility more stringent for those with any connection to terrorism. Additionally, the bill includes a significant retroactive provision affecting individuals previously admitted under this now-repealed exception. Any alien who gained admission to the United States between January 20, 2021, and the date of the bill's enactment , specifically by utilizing this exception, would become subject to deportation. This measure ensures that individuals who previously bypassed the terrorism-related inadmissibility clause will now face removal from the country.
