No Relief for Allies of Dictators Act of 2023
This bill imposes visa restrictions on foreign nationals linked to authoritarian regimes in Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. It targets current or former officials of those governments, Sandinista party members in Nicaragua, and individuals who aid such regimes or commit human rights violations there. The Secretary of State must revoke visas or deny entry to affected individuals, including spouses and children of designated persons, and they become ineligible for U.S. visas or immigration benefits. The law applies to anyone meeting the criteria regardless of when their visa was issued, with limited exceptions for U.N. visitors requiring case-by-case review.
