This legislation regarding tax relief for American hostages and terminating the tax-exempt status of terrorist organizations raises significant concerns. While supporting hostages is vital, granting the IRS unilateral power to designate groups as "terrorist supporting" without due process safeguards risks chilling legitimate advocacy and free expression. Moreover, retroactively revoking tax exemptions could penalize donors acting in good faith. I urge revisiting this bill to protect civil liberties and incorporate robust procedural protections before any organization loses its tax-exempt status. Prioritizing human rights over expansive government power is paramount for preserving fundamental freedoms.
