This bill, known as the "No Mercy for Terrorists Act of 2026," significantly strengthens penalties for individuals involved in terrorism-related activities. It specifically amends sections 2339A and 2339B(a)(1) of title 18, United States Code, which address providing material support to terrorists and designated foreign terrorist organizations, respectively. For both offenses, the bill changes the maximum imprisonment terms to a minimum of 20 years or life . Crucially, it also introduces the possibility of the death penalty for these crimes. These amendments aim to impose harsher consequences on those who aid or support terrorist activities.
