Israel has a terrifying amount of control of our country (if you're in the US, UK or many EU countries). They seem bound and determined to strip our rights and this has been going on long before Oct 7th. Look into anti-BDS laws: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-BDS_laws
They've made a few (or several) attacks against targets in ways that harm US interests.
Most recently they attacked Hamas leaders in Qutar. The US and several other countries formally condemned the attack in the UN. President Trump said the attack hindered US interests. But, of course, nothing was actually done about it. Our tax dollars will continue to pay for the weapons that are used against our will and against our interests.
Sounds like a massive violation of the right to due process. No-fly lists were bad enough, but you were still allowed to leave and come back.
The executive has the power to revoke passports, no question. But it can't neglect a process that's intended to protect everyone from arbitrary and capricious treatment by the government.
While this is, of course, fucking horrible and terrifying, I will look on the bright side - I’m always excited to see the creative methodology the Supreme Court uses to find this constitutional.
We really need to amend our Constitution to protect free speech of our citizens so we can say whatever we want about the US government without fear of repercussion. /s

I think this the text of the as yet unnumbered HR. https://docs.house.gov/meetings/FA/FA00/20250917/118618/BILL...

How dare they revoke passports of terrorists!

No kidding, the US Supreme Court is now better at gymnastics that any Olympic Competitor. When do tryouts start for 2028 :)
Pretty good for people of their age.
