‘Passport Killer’: New Bill Would Grant Marco Rubio Power To Revoke Passports For Terrorist Supporters
SHARE

House Republicans advanced a bill Wednesday that would let the secretary of state revoke the passports of Americans accused of aiding terrorist groups, a move critics have dubbed the “passport killer.”

The bill, titled “No Passports for Terrorists and Traffickers,” was introduced by House Foreign Affairs Chairman Brian Mast, a Florida Republican. It would amend the Passport Act of 1926 to block international travel for those who provide “material support” to foreign terrorist organizations, a definition expanded under the Trump administration to include drug trafficking operations.

The measure defines “material support” broadly, covering money, lodging, weapons, transportation and “expert advice.” It carves out exceptions for medicine and religious materials, and allows anyone who loses a passport under the provision to appeal.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) urged lawmakers to reject the measure, warning in a Monday letter that it would let the State Department “silence … dissent by revoking passports and exiling critics.”

The group argued the bill requires no conviction or even charge, only “the secretary’s unilateral ‘determination,’” which it said invites abuse and removes judicial oversight. CAIR pointed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s decision to revoke the visa of Turkish student Rümeysa Öztürk as evidence of poor judgment.

Öztürk was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in 2024 after co-authoring a campus op-ed urging recognition of a “Palestinian genocide” and divestment from companies linked to Israel.

She was later released by order of a U.S. district judge, but was among several foreign students detained over alleged ties to Hamas. In a statement Wednesday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee stressed the bill’s bipartisan support and quoted Mast as saying the measure is not aimed at the current administration.

“This bill is not just a reform for today, or for President Trump; it is a lasting framework that will strengthen the State Department and benefit every commander-in-chief who follows,” Mast said.

A State Department spokesperson told the Daily Caller the agency does not comment on pending legislation.
