Plain-English Summary

This bill would temporarily stop the U.S. from accepting new immigrants and refugees from Somalia until the government completes a security review. The pause would affect Somali citizens seeking to move to America through immigration programs, and would remain in place until officials determine that adequate safety measures are in place to screen arrivals from that country.
