In plain English
Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) introduced this bill to limit the President's power to suspend or restrict entry of foreign nationals into the United States, requiring that any restrictions address a compelling government interest and use the least restrictive means possible. The bill prohibits religious discrimination in visa decisions unless required by law, expands existing nondiscrimination protections, and requires the State Department and Department of Homeland Security to consult with Congress before imposing restrictions and report to Congress within 48 hours or the restriction automatically ends. The bill also allows individuals in the United States to sue in federal court if unlawfully harmed by such a restriction and transfers authority over suspensions related to fraudulent airline travel documents from the Department of Justice to the Department of Homeland Security, while requiring a report on visa applicants. The bill has 122 Democratic cosponsors and no Republican cosponsors.
What’s in the bill (3 sections)
- Sec. 2. Expansion of nondiscrimination provision
