38 House members have joined forces to create the Sharia-Free America Caucus, warning that Sharia contradicts the U.S. Constitution and threatens American freedoms. The group is pushing for laws that would prevent judges from considering Islamic law in their decisions and restrict entry to the country for individuals who adhere to Sharia principles.
The caucus supports the Preserving a Sharia-Free America Act and the No Sharia Act. These bills would change both immigration rules and how the legal system operates.
In early February 2026, the group held its inaugural press conference, where Rep. Cory Mills stated that “freedom of religion does not mean freedom to impose a parallel legal system or undermine constitutional governance. No ideology religious or otherwise stands above the American law.”
Florida has significant representation in the caucus, including:
- Byron Donalds (R-FL)
- Aaron Bean (R-FL)
- Cory Mills (R-FL)
- Webster Barnaby (R-FL)
- Brian Mann (R-FL)
The caucus states its mission is to preserve what members call traditional American legal principles and prevent any adoption of Islamic legal codes in U.S. governmental systems.
Representatives from 17 other states have also joined, including:
- Mary Miller (R-IL)
- Brandon Gill (R-TX)
