No Censors on our Shores Act of 2025

HR 1071, the "No Censors on our Shores Act," amends U.S. immigration law to make certain foreign government officials inadmissible or deportable if they censor U.S. citizens within the United States. Specifically, it targets officials who directly carried out censorship against U.S. citizens in the U.S. that would violate the First Amendment if done by a U.S. official. The bill adds new grounds for inadmissibility (under Section 212(a)(2)(J)) and deportability (under Section 237(a)(2)(G)) based on this censorship. It directly affects foreign government officials whose actions meet this standard, not the general public or U.S. citizens. The law focuses on immigration consequences for foreign officials engaging in speech suppression that would breach First Amendment protections domestically.
