Protecting the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats

AI Summary: This regulation is an executive order focused on enhancing immigration screening and vetting to protect national security. The order directs multiple federal agencies, including the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, and Intelligence Community, to implement more stringent screening processes for foreign nationals seeking entry into or already present in the United States. Key provisions include identifying countries with insufficient vetting information, evaluating and adjusting existing immigration regulations, preventing admission of refugees or stateless individuals without rigorous identification verification, and recommending actions to protect against potential security threats. The order aims to ensure that individuals admitted to the United States do not pose risks to national security, public safety, or constitutional principles, and emphasizes the need to screen for potential terrorists, individuals with hostile attitudes toward the United States, or those who might undermine American cultural and constitutional values. The order requires agencies to submit reports, review visa programs, and develop strategies to better identify and prevent potential security risks from foreign nationals.
