No Safe Harbor for the Enemy Act
S 1864, the "No Safe Harbor for the Enemy Act," modifies a 2021 defense law to prevent judicial review of the Defense Secretary's decisions listing Chinese military companies operating in the U.S. It adds a provision stating the Secretary's determinations about which companies are added to this list are final and cannot be challenged in court. This directly affects Chinese military companies deemed to operate in the U.S. under this listing process. The key change removes legal avenues for companies or others to contest these listings, making the Defense Secretary's decisions binding without oversight.
