Banning Entry to US for Foreign Officials Undermining Democratic Elections.

This legislation establishes new immigration rules preventing foreign government officials from entering the United States if they are found to have knowingly undermined democratic elections or the lawful transition of power in their home countries. The goal is to use US immigration policy to hold accountable those who threaten democratic processes globally and reinforce US foreign policy goals.
Key points
The Secretary of State gains authority to designate foreign officials who inhibit free and fair democratic elections as inadmissible to the US.
Designated individuals are ineligible for visas, and any existing visas they hold are immediately revoked.
The Secretary of State can grant a waiver to allow entry if it is deemed necessary for the national interest of the United States.
