Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The No Escaping Justice Act of 2026 authorizes the President to impose sanctions on foreign individuals who knowingly participated in, financed, or benefited from sex trafficking connected to Jeffrey Epstein or efforts to conceal that enterprise. The bill requires the President to submit reports within 90 days of enactment and annually for five years identifying sanctionable individuals based on credible information from government agencies, court proceedings, and other reliable sources. Sanctions include freezing U.S. assets, banning entry to the United States, and revoking visas, with penalties enforced under existing economic sanctions laws. The President may waive sanctions if they serve the national interest or involve authorized intelligence or law enforcement activities, and must notify Congress 15 days before any waiver takes effect. Sanctions can be terminated if the individual is found innocent, has completed an appropriate sentence and remediated victim harm, or has significantly changed behavior and cooperated with U.S. authorities.
