“America’s veterans and citizens should not have to die to get their day in court. My Justice for Veterans and Victims of Terrorism Act will begin to close a loophole in our legal system that has disenfranchised Americans for too long, holding terrorists accountable and putting Americans first,” said Congressman Taylor. “Last week, on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, our nation honored the countless victims and heroes whose lives were forever changed by the heinous terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. America’s legal system should not leave behind those who have sacrificed to protect our nation or citizens who have fallen victim to terrorism. I look forward to working with my colleagues in Congress to restore justice to those who are owed it.”
Work with colleagues in Congress to advance the Justice for Veterans and Victims of Terrorism Act so victims of attempted extrajudicial killing by state sponsors of terrorism can move closer to justice and potential compensation.

Assessments
Taylor materially advanced the issue by introducing the Justice for Veterans and Victims of Terrorism Act, as verified evidence states. However, the verified record does not show enactment, court-access restoration, compensation access, or another completed outcome by 2026-09-18. Introduction is effort toward the promise, not delivery of the promised remedy.
