No Passports for Terrorists and Traffickers Act

Facilitating Return to the United States: Under Section 2(a)(3)(A), the Secretary of State can limit a passport or issue a limited passport card to allow an individual to travel back to the United States. This could be beneficial for those needing to return home despite being subject to the new restrictions.

Humanitarian and Emergency Relief: Section 2(a)(3)(B) allows the Secretary of State to issue passports to individuals who would otherwise be ineligible if emergency circumstances or humanitarian needs are determined to exist.

Due Process through Appeals: Section 2(b) provides a right of review, allowing individuals to request a hearing to appeal the denial or revocation of their passport within 60 days of receiving notice.

Path to Passport Restoration: Section 2(c) allows for the possibility of re-issuing a passport if an individual demonstrates they were acquitted of the described acts or if the Secretary changes their determination.

Denial of Travel Privileges: Under Section 2(a)(1), individuals may be refused a passport if they are charged with or convicted of specific violations, or if the Secretary determines they provided material support to a foreign terrorist organization.

Loss of Existing Travel Documents: Section 2(a)(2) requires the Secretary of State to revoke passports previously issued to individuals who meet the ineligibility criteria.

Broad Definition of Material Support: Section 2(e)(2) defines "material support" very broadly, including property, services, financial instruments, lodging, training, and even personnel, which could impact a wide range of activities.
