Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands immigration enforcement by creating new inadmissibility and removal grounds tied to participation in specific terrorist attacks, expanding the list of organizations triggering terrorism bars, and barring affected aliens from all forms of immigration relief. The reporting requirement is neutral as it only requires data collection without changing enforcement outcomes.
