It is the sense of the Congress that the designation of the Ansarallah in Yemen (otherwise known as the Houthis ) as a foreign terrorist organization by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, which took effect on January 19, 2021, was an essential step to hold Iran’s proxies accountable. Congress finds the following: The Houthis are armed, trained, and advised by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, an entity designated as a foreign terrorist organization pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1189 ).
According to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, the Houthis are responsible for a number of terrorist acts, including cross-border attacks threatening civilian populations, infrastructure, and commercial shipping. . Not later than 10 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall designate Ansarallah, otherwise known as Houthis , as a foreign terrorist organization under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1189 ). Not later than 10 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Treasury shall place Ansarallah, otherwise known as Houthis, on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons maintained by the Office of Foreign Asset Control of the Department of the Treasury.
Beginning on the date that is 10 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, all licenses and waivers issued in relation to the designation of Ansarallah as a Foreign Terrorist Organization or its placement on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons that were in effect as of January 20, 2021, shall return to force and remain in effect as long as Ansarallah is designated as a foreign terrorist organization and remains on the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons.
Except as provided in subsection (e), no waiver or license with respect to the designation of Ansarallah under this section may be issued.
