Preventing the Forced Return of Uyghurs Act of 2025

This bill bars U.S. visas and immigration benefits for Chinese government officials determined to be responsible for forcing Uyghurs or other ethnic/religious minorities (likely to face persecution in China) to return to China. It requires the State Department to deny entry to such officials, automatically refer cases to Treasury for potential sanctions, and submit detailed reports to Congress every 180 days. The law expires after 5 years unless renewed, with limited waivers allowed for national interest reasons. It directly targets specific Chinese officials involved in forced repatriation, not Uyghur individuals or general travel.
