Inhibiting Militant Adversarial Mullahs Act

Key Points

• Rep. Roy introduced a bill that would stop certain Islamic religious leaders from getting special visas to work in the United States. These visas are usually given to people coming to the country to work for a religious group or church.
• The bill specifically targets people who hold titles like Imam, Grand Imam, Shaykha, Mufti, or Ayatollah. If this bill becomes law, anyone with these titles would be banned from entering the country using this specific religious worker program.
• This change would update the main United States immigration law. It aims to prevent these specific religious figures from being admitted, though the bill text does not list a specific reason for the ban.
• This policy would mostly affect Islamic organizations and mosques in the United States that want to bring in leaders or scholars from other countries. It could make it much harder for these communities to find trained leaders for their religious services.
