This bill, titled the "Standing Against Houthi Aggression Act," mandates the redesignation of Ansarallah, also known as the Houthis, as a foreign terrorist organization. Within 90 days of the Act's enactment, the Secretary of State is required to officially designate Ansarallah under the Immigration and Nationality Act. This action aims to reverse a previous revocation of their foreign terrorist organization status. Furthermore, the legislation compels the President to impose specific sanctions on Ansarallah and any associated foreign persons, including members, agents, or affiliates, within the same 90-day timeframe. These sanctions include measures to block property and prohibit transactions with those involved in terrorism, as outlined in Executive Order 13224. Additionally, sanctions described in Executive Order 13780, concerning foreign terrorist entry into the United States for Yemeni nationals as of January 19, 2021, would also be applied.
