Rep. Paul Cook Votes to Revoke Terrorist Passports
Statement
Issues: National Security Defense
Today, Rep. Paul Cook (R- Apple Valley) voted for HR 237, the Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) Passport Revocation Act. This bill would authorize the State Department to revoke or deny passports and passport cards to individuals affiliated with foreign terrorist organizations.
Cook said, "ISIS has gained unprecedented ground in Iraq and Syria. Unfortunately, over 100 US citizens are fighting with ISIS in the Middle East. They've voluntarily signed up with a terrorist army dedicated to destroying the United States. American citizens fighting for ISIS in Syria and Iraq are a huge threat to the United States and they must not be permitted to return to the US undetected."
