To require the denial of admission to the United States for individuals subject to sanctions pursuant to Executive Order 13876, and for other purposes.
The SEVER Act would require the United States to deny visa admission to individuals who are subject to sanctions imposed under Executive Order 13876, which targets entities and individuals related to Iran. The bill specifically amends existing law that already restricts certain representatives to the United Nations from entering the country, extending those restrictions to anyone currently under Iran-related sanctions as of September 15, 2022. This legislation would primarily affect foreign nationals and officials connected to Iran's government, military, or sanctioned organizations seeking to enter the United States. The bill contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines, as it primarily modifies existing visa denial procedures that are already administered by the State Department.
