Original Note:
Hamas was designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 1997. Under 8 USC 1182(3)(B)(VII), "espousing or endorsing terrorist activity" makes an alien deportable. No Supreme Court case has held that the First Amendment precludes deportation under this statute. https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title8-section1182&num=0&edition=prelim https://www.state.gov/foreign-terrorist-organizations/
