To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to provide for the removal 
             of aliens who associate with known terrorists.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. REMOVAL OF ALIENS WHO ASSOCIATE WITH KNOWN TERRORISTS.

    Section 237(a)(4)(B) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 
U.S.C. 1227(a)(4)(B)) is amended to read as follows:
                    ``(B) Terrorist activities.--
                            ``(i) In general.--Any alien who has 
                        engaged, is engaged, or at any time after 
                        admission engages in terrorist activity (as 
                        defined in section 212(a)(3)(B)(iii)) is 
                        deportable.
                            ``(ii) Association with known terrorists.--
                        Any alien who at any time after admission 
                        associates with an individual who the alien 
                        knows, or has reasonable ground to believe, is 
                        designated as a terrorist in the Department of 
                        State publication entitled `Patterns of Global 
                        Terrorism' is deportable. For the purposes of 
                        the preceding sentence, an alien shall be 
                        considered to have associated with such an 
                        individual if the alien engaged in a pattern of 
                        conduct that, with respect to both the 
                        frequency and the nature of the conduct, gives 
                        rise to a reasonable suspicion that the alien 
                        knowingly aided and abetted such an individual 
                        to engage in terrorist activity (as defined in 
                        section 212(a)(3)(B)(iii)).''.
