Banning Perpetrators of Religious Persecution Act of 2026

Summary

The bill changes immigration law to deny entry to any foreign national who, while serving as a government official or elsewhere, directed, authorized, supported, participated in, or carried out especially severe violations of religious freedom. It also requires the State Department to list the names of such individuals and the locations of the abuses on a public website, unless the Secretary of State decides disclosure would harm U.S. foreign policy, in which case a semi‑annual report to Congress is required. The measure aims to prevent perpetrators of religious persecution from entering the United States.
