Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

2026-04-02

This bill would prevent people from entering or staying in the United States if they have committed or been involved in religious persecution in their home countries. The law would target individuals who have targeted, harmed, or discriminated against people based on their religious beliefs, potentially affecting immigration decisions for asylum seekers, visa applicants, and others seeking entry to the U.S. It aims to protect religious freedom by denying entry to those with a history of persecuting others for their faith.
