Senator Tom Cotton Proposes Legislation to Revoke Visas for Families of Designated Terrorists
Senator Tom Cotton, a Republican from Arkansas, has introduced a bill titled the 'No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act.' This legislation aims to revoke U.S. visas and restrict future entry for immediate family members of individuals designated by the U.S. government as terrorists. The proposal targets spouses, parents, children, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews of those classified as 'America’s most dangerous adversaries.' The bill seeks to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act, making these relatives inadmissible and deportable. It applies to family members of individuals designated as Specially Designated Global Terrorists, senior officials of foreign terrorist organizations, and high-ranking officials of governments deemed state sponsors of terrorism. The measure would apply retroactively, barring these individuals from most forms of immigration relief and prioritizing their removal.
