President must label Houthi group Ansarallah a terrorist group

This bill would make the President officially name Ansarallah, also called the Houthi movement, a foreign terrorist group. This would lead to sanctions against the group and its members. It also asks for a report on whether three specific people are linked to Ansarallah.

What Would Change

Currently, Ansarallah is not officially designated as a foreign terrorist organization under U.S. law. If this bill becomes law, the President would be required to make this designation within 30 days, leading to sanctions. The President would also need to report on the affiliation of three specific individuals within 30 days after that designation.

Key Provisions

Requires the President to designate Ansarallah, also known as the Houthi movement, as a foreign terrorist organization within 30 days if the bill becomes law.
Requires the President to determine if Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Abd al-Khaliq Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and Abdullah Yahya al-Hakim are linked to Ansarallah.
Requires the President to send this determination to specific committees in the Senate and House of Representatives.
