S 370 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Protecting America From Spies Act

This bill expands U.S. immigration restrictions by adding new grounds for denying entry to non-citizens. It makes individuals inadmissible if a consular officer or DHS believes they engaged in, or plan to engage in, activities like espionage, sabotage, violating U.S. export laws for sensitive goods/technology, unlawful activities, or efforts to overthrow the U.S. government by force. It also bars entry for spouses or children of individuals deemed inadmissible under these new rules if the qualifying activity occurred within the last five years. The law directly affects people seeking visas or entry into the United States based on these specific security-related activities.
