Bill Summary
A bill to require the denial of admission to the United States for individuals subject to sanctions pursuant to Executive Order 13876, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing immigration law to expand restrictions on visa issuance for certain United Nations representatives. Specifically, the bill would deny entry visas to individuals who are subject to sanctions under Executive Order 13876, which relates to sanctions against Iran. The modification is being made to Section 407(a)(1) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991, adding the sanctions criterion to existing visa restrictions. By referencing the sanctions order as it exists on September 16, 2025, the bill ensures that current sanctions against Iranian officials or entities would be grounds for preventing entry into the United States. This legislative change appears designed to strengthen immigration enforcement and limit access to the U.S. for individuals connected to the Iranian government who are deemed problematic by the U.S. government.
