S. 2297, the Preventing Intelligence Gathering from Foreign Adversaries Act, would amend immigration law to make foreign nationals inadmissible to the United States and deportable if they are subject to laws in their home countries that require them to assist with intelligence-gathering activities. The bill targets individuals who may be obligated by foreign governments to provide cooperation, access, or support for espionage or intelligence operations. The legislation affects immigrants seeking entry or status in the U.S., as well as current residents who fall under such foreign intelligence obligations. The bill contains no specific funding requirements or implementation timelines. By adding these grounds to both inadmissibility and deportability provisions, the measure aims to prevent foreign adversaries from placing intelligence operatives or compromised individuals within the United States.
