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, known as the "Strengthening Entry Visa Enforcement and Restrictions Act" (SEVER Act), amends existing immigration law to expand restrictions on entry visas for certain United Nations representatives. Specifically, the bill modifies a previous section of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act to include individuals who are subject to sanctions under Executive Order 13876, which relates to imposing sanctions on Iran. The amendment means that in addition to previous visa restrictions, any UN representative who is subject to these specific Iran-related sanctions as of September 16, 2025, will be denied entry into the United States. This change effectively strengthens the government's ability to prevent certain Iranian representatives from entering the country by linking visa eligibility directly to existing economic and diplomatic sanctions against Iran.
