Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill, known as the "Preventing Intelligence Gathering from Foreign Adversaries Act," proposes to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to make individuals subject to foreign intelligence security laws inadmissible to the United States and deportable if they are already in the country. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision that would prevent any foreign national from entering or remaining in the United States if they are required by a foreign country's law to provide access, cooperation, or support for that country's intelligence-gathering activities. This means that if a person is legally obligated under a foreign country's laws to assist with intelligence operations, they would be barred from entering the U.S. or could be removed from the country. The bill aims to protect national security by preventing individuals who might be compelled to act as intelligence assets from being present in the United States. The changes would be added to two sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act: one dealing with grounds for inadmissibility (who cannot enter the country) and another dealing with grounds for deportation (who can be removed from the country).
