New Bill Would Ban Radical Religious Leaders From Entering the United States
A new bill introduced by Rep. Chip Roy aims to prevent radical religious leaders from entering the United States. The Inhibiting Militant Adversarial Mullahs (IMAM) Act would amend immigration laws to bar certain religious figures associated with extremism. This legislation follows concerns about foreign clerics promoting anti-American sentiments and terrorism.
- ▪The IMAM Act would prohibit nonimmigrant religious worker visas for specific titles such as Imam and Ayatollah.
- ▪Rep. Chip Roy stated that the U.S. should not allow clerics who preach hatred or support terrorism to enter the country.
- ▪The bill was introduced in response to reports of Muslim clerics promoting hostility toward the U.S. since the September 11 attacks.
