My bill would revoke visas from family members of terrorists to keep Arkansans safer.
Revoke existing visas from terrorists’ close family members and prohibit them from receiving any future U.S. visas.
Occurrences
Evidence
GovInfo shows that on May 14, 2026, Sen. Cotton introduced S. 4526, which was read twice and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee; the bill would establish a new inadmissibility ground for close relatives of foreign terrorists.
Cotton’s office said he introduced the No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act, describing it as a measure to revoke existing visas for terrorists’ close family members and bar future U.S. visas.
Assessments
Cotton introduced matching legislation (S. 4526 / No Safe Haven for Terrorist Families Act) that would create the proposed visa restrictions, but the evidence only shows introduction and referral to the Senate Judiciary Committee. There is no evidence the policy was enacted or otherwise implemented, so this is a serious attempt without delivery.
