STOP MADNESS Act

The STOP MADNESS Act (S 363) proposes imposing U.S. economic sanctions on foreign governments and entities that resist repatriating migrants who entered the U.S. unlawfully or knowingly facilitate such immigration. It would block financial transactions with U.S. financial systems for targeted foreign governments and foreign persons meeting specific criteria, including those obstructing U.S. repatriation efforts or aiding illegal immigration. The bill requires the President to submit annual reports to Congress detailing sanctions actions and enforcement, with a 7-year reporting period. It defines key terms like "knowingly" and specifies exemptions for intelligence and law enforcement activities.
