What it does
The Preventing the Forced Return of Uyghurs Act of 2025 would bar entry into the United States for current or former foreign government officials who are responsible for or complicit in the forced repatriation of Uyghurs or other persecuted aliens to the People’s Republic of China. It requires the Secretary of State to deny visas and immigration benefits to such officials, refer cases to the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control for potential sanctions, and submit regular reports to Congress on denials and waivers. The provision would automatically expire five years after enactment unless extended.
