HR 5651 United States House · 118th Congress

No Asylum for CCP Spies Act

This bill amends U.S. immigration law to deny asylum to individuals who were members of a Communist or totalitarian party (like the Chinese Communist Party). It specifically targets asylum seekers with such party ties, barring them from asylum unless they meet strict exceptions. The key exceptions require applicants to publicly renounce their party membership and prove their affiliation was involuntary (e.g., forced as a minor or for basic survival), or to provide significant national security information in exchange for a waiver. The policy directly affects asylum applicants with documented ties to Communist or totalitarian parties.
