Limiting US Entry Bans and Strengthening Anti-Discrimination Protections.

This act aims to limit the President's ability to impose entry bans to the US based on national origin or religion. It introduces new rules requiring specific evidence and Congressional approval for such bans, and allows citizens to challenge unjustified decisions. This is intended to ensure greater transparency and protect the rights of individuals seeking entry to the United States.
Key points
The President can only suspend entry to the US based on specific, credible facts related to security or public safety, not national origin or religion.
Any entry bans must be narrowly tailored, temporary, and use the least restrictive means, with consideration for family and humanitarian waivers.
Imposing a ban will require consultation with Congress and submission of evidence; failure to provide a report within 48 hours will immediately terminate the ban.
Individuals harmed by unlawful bans can challenge decisions in court, enhancing their rights protection.
The act mandates regular reports on visa applicants, including detailed data on refusals and waivers granted, increasing process transparency.
