House Republicans, led by Rep. Chip Roy of Texas, have introduced legislation aimed at blocking individuals who adhere to Sharia law from entering the United States and deporting those already present within the country.
“America is facing an existential threat — the spread of Sharia Law,” Rep. Roy said in a statement announcing the bill. “From Texas to every state in the union, instances of Sharia Law adherents have threatened the American way of life, seeking to replace our legal system and Constitution with an incompatible ideology that diminishes the rights of women, children, and individuals of different faiths.”
Roy, who is currently running for Texas attorney general, said Europe’s struggles with the influence of Sharia law should serve as a warning to the U.S. “Europe should be a wake-up call to America, showing what the spread of Sharia law looks like — the erosion of the West,” he said. “America’s immigration system must be fortified to counter the importation of Sharia adherents — the preservation of our constitutional republic and its people depend on it.”
According to the bill’s text, the measure would require the Secretary of State, Secretary of Homeland Security, and Attorney General to deny any visa, immigration benefit, or relief to “any alien who adheres to Sharia law.” It would also mandate the removal of any such individual already in the U.S., deeming them “inadmissible or deportable.”
The proposal further stipulates penalties for individuals who lie about their adherence to Sharia law, stating that any alien providing false statements on the matter would have their immigration benefits revoked and face deportation.
Original cosponsors of the legislation include Republican Reps. Randy Fine of Florida, Tim Burchett of Tennessee, and Keith Self of Texas. Additional cosponsors listed on Congress.gov include Reps. Barry Moore of Alabama, Mary Miller of Illinois, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Sheri Biggs of South Carolina, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Josh Brecheen of Oklahoma, and Andrew Clyde of Georgia.
President Trump has previously voiced strong support for stricter immigration measures designed to protect American sovereignty and values — a theme echoed by many Republicans backing this proposal.
