Stricter Immigration Rules for Fentanyl Traffickers

This bill tightens the rules for entering the United States for individuals involved in drug trafficking, specifically focusing on fentanyl. The changes aim to enhance security by making it more difficult for those engaged in the illegal trade of these substances to enter the country. It introduces stricter immigration consequences for convicted drug traffickers.
Key points
Fentanyl and its analogues are now explicitly listed as controlled substances whose illegal trafficking leads to inadmissibility (entry ban) to the US.
The severity of immigration consequences for individuals deemed drug traffickers has been increased by changing a key number in the regulations from 5 to 15.
