Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of State to revoke visas or impose restrictions on foreign individuals associated with the governments of Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Bolivia. It applies to current and former government officials, supporters, and others involved in these regimes, as well as individuals designated under existing sanctions laws and executive orders related to these countries. Affected individuals are banned from entering the United States, ineligible for visas, and subject to expedited removal if present in the country, with their existing visas automatically revoked. The bill defines covered individuals broadly to include regime officials, party members, those acting on behalf of these regimes, and those aiding in repression. An exception allows for case-by-case determinations regarding individuals seeking to visit the United Nations headquarters.
