- The Biden Admin Just Made It Easier for Terrorists To Enter the United States
- The Biden administration altered federal law to make it easier for individuals who have worked with designated terrorist groups to legally enter the United States.
- Examples of individuals who would fall into the new category, according to the announcement, include individuals who provided “humanitarian assistance” or “routine commercial transactions” to terror groups.
- Lawmakers and former U.S. officials say the new regulations are so broadly written that they would apply to organizations like al Qaeda and the IRGC. The policy change is also raising red flags as U.S. officials, including former secretary of state Mike Pompeo, face credible death threats from Iran.
- Gabriel Noronha, a State Department special adviser for Iran during the Trump administration, said “this looks like a massive watering down of our immigration restrictions against members of terrorist organizations.”
- When the Free Beacon requested additional information and an explanation as to why the IRGC or similar groups would not be covered by the changes, the State Department declined to answer, saying, “We have no further information or comments to share.” This lack of clarity is fueling concerns about the policy change.

- Military officials from Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, and Bahrain convened at Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt to explore how the countries can defend against Iran’s growing missile and drone capabilities, the report said.
- The leaders agreed in principle on a system for rapid notification when aerial threats are detected, the report said, however, those understandings weren’t binding.
- The next phase is securing political support from Mideast leaders on the notification procedures. The report said that although Israel and its neighbors are in the early stages of discussing military cooperation, the matter is still diplomatically sensitive.
- Several years ago, such a meeting would have been unthinkable. However, the US-brokered Abraham Accords, which saw Israel normalize ties with several Arab countries, has paved the way for such cooperation.
