No Mercy for Terrorists Act of 2026
To amend title 18, United States Code, to increase the penalties for terrorists.
HB8040, also known as the No Mercy for Terrorists Act of 2026, proposes to amend title 18 of the United States Code by increasing the penalties for terrorist activities. The bill aims to strengthen the legal consequences for individuals involved in terrorism to better deter such actions in the future.
This bill would affect anyone convicted of terrorism-related offenses by imposing harsher penalties. These penalties could include longer prison sentences and higher fines, making it more difficult for terrorists to evade serious consequences for their actions.
As of March 24, 2026, the bill has just been introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. It is currently in its early stages of the legislative process, and no further actions have been taken yet.
