The SEVER Act (Strengthening Entry Visa Enforcement and Restrictions Act of 2025) expands grounds for denying entry to the United States by requiring the government to refuse admission to individuals subject to sanctions imposed under Executive Order 13876, which targets Iran-related sanctions. The bill specifically amends existing law to deny visas to representatives to the United Nations who fall under these Iran-related sanctions, strengthening enforcement of visa restrictions for sanctioned individuals. This legislation affects foreign nationals designated as subject to Iran sanctions and those seeking to represent their countries at the UN. The bill contains no specific funding or implementation timeline beyond its reference to the executive order as it existed on September 16, 2025, and was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee for review.
