Rep. Van Duyne Introduces the “Hamas Supporters Have No Home Here Act” to Deport Aliens Who Participate in Pro-Terrorism and Antisemitic Mob Gatherings

Washington, D.C. - Today, Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne introduced the Hamas Supporters Have No Home Here Act to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act by expanding removability from the United States to include any crime committed during participation in a pro-terrorist or antisemitic rally. Foreign students and individuals are involved in planning, supporting, and attending these anti-American and antisemitic mobs which are increasingly occupying, vandalizing, and taking over university campuses in direct conflict with university directives, student conduct policies, and the laws of our country. The Hamas Supporters Have No Home Here Act delivers serious consequences by ordering deportation of those alien individuals who commit crimes while participating in these disorderly and destructive events.

"It is time to deal swiftly and decisively with those who would come to our amazing country and incite hatred for America, hatred for the Jewish people, and despicably demand support for Hamas terrorism that inflicted the worst loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust. Being allowed to come to America is a privilege that these terrorist supporters have spit on and now it's time to send them packing," said Congresswoman Van Duyne. "The Hamas Supporters Have No Home Here Act is a necessary response to those aliens who want to import terrorism and anarchy to the United States. Our nation's generosity and kindness must not be mistaken for weakness - this legislation will add real consequences to the lawless actions of these people who have no place enjoying the freedoms we protect here in the greatest nation on earth."

Fast Facts

• INTERNATIONAL GROUP WITH CLOSE TIES TO TERROR IS TOP ORGANIZER OF ANTI-ISRAEL RALLIES IN U.S.:
• • According to the Anti-Defamation League, one of the primary organizers of anti-Israel rallies in the U.S. is Samidoun, an international organization also known as the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, which has explicitly praised Hamas's invasion of Israeli villages, kidnapping of civilian hostages, and promoted a webinar with a Hamas spokesperson.
  • Samidoun, which is designated as a terrorist group in Israel, banned from operating in Germany, and blacklisted by PayPal due to its terrorist connections, cosponsored an anti-Israel rally at Princeton University.
  • Samidoun is fiscally sponsored by the Alliance for Global Justice, a 501(c)(3) charity that has been funded by George Soros-backed organizations and was backed by a left-wing dark money network.
  • The Alliance for Global Justice is facing scrutiny for its ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terror group, and PayPal has stopped processing the charity's payments.
• UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP ACTIVELY PROTECTING FOREIGN STUDENTS FROM DEPORTATION:
• • Massachusetts Institute of Technology walked back threats to expel students who refused to comply with student guidelines and policies, with the university president citing "visa issues" - meaning, the suspension or expulsion of foreign students could lead to their visas being revoked and ultimately their deportation.
  • After this, Hamas-supporting students cheered as an organizer announced they got the administration to "back down" and students were not suspended and international students would not get their visas revoked.
  • Columbia University and Barnard College created a "Doxing Resource Group" to scrub potentially damning digital evidence that could lead to the visa revocation and deportation of foreign students who participated in rallies in support of terrorism and the murder of Jews.
• TOP ANTI-ISRAEL CAMPUS GROUP BEHIND PROTESTS RECEIVED MILLIONS FROM HAMAS-LINKED "CHARITIES" AND NATIONAL GROUP SHARED PHOTO WITH SLOGAN OF TERRORIST GROUP
• • Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which has more than 200 chapters on campuses across the United States and has played a key role in organizing anti-Israel protests, has received more than $3 million from Hamas-linked charities.
  • Less than a week after the attacks on October 7th, national SJP endorsed terrorism and "dismantling Zionism" and released a toolkit in preparation for a national "Day of Resistance" that included statements calling the massacre "a historic win for Palestinian resistance" and included images with paragliders above protestors.
  • National Students for Justice in Palestine promoted brazen and egregious antisemitism, sharing a photo of a rally in Yemen which featured a sign with the Arabic slogan of a U.S.-designated terrorist group, the Houthis, which read: "Death to America, death to Israel, a curse upon the Jews."
