Limiting Presidential Power: Anti-Discrimination Rules for US Entry Bans.

This law restricts the President's ability to issue broad travel bans that discriminate based on national origin or religion. It mandates that any future entry restrictions must be based on specific, credible security facts and must be narrowly tailored, ensuring humanitarian exceptions are prioritized. It significantly increases Congressional oversight and grants affected individuals the right to challenge illegal restrictions in federal court.
Key points
Explicitly prohibits denying visas or entry based on national origin, place of birth, residence, or religion for both immigrants and nonimmigrants.
Limits the President's authority to impose entry bans, requiring specific security evidence, narrow tailoring, and mandatory Congressional and judicial review.
