Penalties for Countries Refusing Repatriation of Their Nationals from US

This act establishes new rules and penalties for countries that refuse to take back their nationals deported from the US, especially those convicted of serious crimes or posing a threat. This could impact the ability of citizens from these countries to travel to the US, as the United States may stop issuing them visas.
Key points
The US can stop issuing visas to citizens of countries that systematically refuse to take back their nationals deported from the US.
This primarily applies to individuals convicted of violent felonies or deemed a threat to US national security.
Information about countries refusing repatriation will be publicly available on US government websites.
