Key Points
- If you are not a U.S. citizen and you helped the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks in any way, you cannot enter the U.S. or get a visa.
- You also cannot get asylum or other protections to stay in the U.S., even if you ask for them later.
- If you are already in the U.S. and are found to have helped those attacks, you can be deported.
- The rules used to screen travelers and applicants now clearly name Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
- Homeland Security must report each year how many people are blocked or removed; most people will see no change in daily life.
