Halt Immigration from Countries with Inadequate Verification Capabilities Act

Summary

The bill would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to stop admitting people from designated countries that cannot reliably verify their identities or backgrounds. It applies to anyone who is a national of, or has lived in, such a country for the past five years, but includes exceptions for lawful permanent residents, refugees, military personnel, diplomatic visa holders, and case‑by‑case national‑interest waivers. The measure aims to protect national security by expanding the list of restricted countries beyond those named in the 2017 presidential proclamation.
