S. 3009: Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act

The bill titled the "Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act" proposes changes to the Immigration and Nationality Act specifically regarding individuals who advocate for Sharia law. Here are the key points of the bill:

Denial of Immigration Benefits

The bill mandates that several government officials—including the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Attorney General—must deny any immigration benefits, visas, or entry into the United States for individuals who advocate for Sharia law if their advocacy could violate the rights of others as per the U.S. Constitution or federal/state laws.

Grounds for Removal

It outlines that any individual already in the U.S. who is found to advocate for Sharia law in a way that contradicts constitutional rights can have their immigration benefits revoked, be deemed inadmissible or deportable, and be removed from the country.

False Statements

If an individual makes a false statement to any federal agency regarding their advocacy for Sharia law, the bill states that they will similarly face consequences including the revocation of their immigration benefits, being declared inadmissible or deportable, and removal from the U.S.

Judicial Review Restrictions

The bill specifies that any decisions made regarding the removal of individuals under the parameters set by this Act would be final and cannot be contested in court.

Amendments to Existing Law

The legislation proposes amendments to sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act to include explicit language stating that advocating for Sharia law in violation of others' rights will make individuals inadmissible or deportable.

Summary of Implications

In summary, this bill seeks to legally restrict the entry of individuals who advocate for Sharia law in a way that infringes upon constitutional rights, impose removal for those already in the U.S., and prevent judicial challenges to these decisions.
