Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to add new inadmissibility and removal grounds, plus ineligibility for relief, specifically targeting aliens involved in Hamas attacks on Israel beginning October 7, 2023. This expands federal immigration enforcement by barring entry, removal, and relief for a defined class of aliens. It also requires annual reporting on such cases. No provisions address state/local cooperation, sanctuary policies, E-Verify, detention, or other listed topics.
