Protecting the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats
Directs enhanced vetting and screening of aliens seeking admission and an interagency report identifying countries whose information-sharing is so deficient as to warrant suspending entry under INA 212(f). The order did not itself impose a travel ban; the entry suspension was later imposed by Proclamation 10949 (June 4, 2025).
Section by Section
What each section does, and how they differ.
Addresses national security threats from foreign terrorists and other actors, with emphasis on enhanced vetting and screening of all aliens seeking admission or already in the U.S.
Directs State, DOJ, DHS, and intelligence agencies to identify resources for maximum vetting, establish uniform screening standards consistent with January 19, 2021 baseline, and assess information deficiencies from countries warranting visa restrictions.
Authorizes suspension of entry for nationals from countries with deficient vetting information and directs agencies to submit lists of affected nationals and assessment of impacts.
Standard boilerplate: preserves existing agency authority, conditions the order on appropriations, and creates no enforceable private rights.
