HR 7857 United States House · 119th Congress

No Escaping Justice Act of 2026

This bill requires the President to annually identify foreign persons (non-U.S. individuals or entities) who knowingly participated in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking network or efforts to conceal it. It mandates sanctions including blocking financial assets in the U.S., banning visas, and restricting entry for these individuals. The law includes a process for the President to waive sanctions for national security reasons or terminate them if the person is prosecuted, served a sentence, or takes steps to help victims. It specifically references Epstein-related records but requires credible evidence beyond mere mention in those records for sanctions. The bill does not alter existing obligations under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
