Limiting US Entry Bans and Protecting Against Discrimination

This act changes the rules for presidential entry bans to the US, introducing stricter limits and requiring Congressional consultation. It aims to ensure that entry ban decisions are based on specific facts and do not discriminate based on national origin or religion, impacting travel freedom and visa applicant rights.
Key points
The President can temporarily ban entry only for security or public safety threats, based on specific evidence.
Entry bans must be narrowly tailored, time-limited, and consider waivers, especially for families.
Discrimination based on national origin and religion in visa issuance and entry to the US is prohibited.
Congress must be consulted and informed before an entry ban, and reports will be publicly available.
Individuals harmed by unlawful entry bans will be able to seek legal recourse in court.
