H.R. 1327 requires the Department of Homeland Security to produce a report on terrorist threats to the U.S. from individuals in Syria tied to designated terrorist organizations. The report must cover who these people are, how well DHS can track them, and what is being done to block their entry into the country.

Latest action on H.R. 1327: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
Who this affects: This bill primarily affects the Department of Homeland Security and related federal agencies, which must produce the assessment. It also affects Congress, which gains structured intelligence on Syria-linked threats. The general public is indirectly affected because the findings could shape future border security and counterterrorism policies.
Why this matters: The conflict in Syria has created conditions where terrorist organizations operate and recruit. This bill pushes the federal government to formally assess those threats and share findings with Congress. The results could expose gaps in how the U.S. tracks dangerous individuals and lead to stronger border security or screening measures.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
