Preventing Intelligence Gathering from Foreign Adversaries Act

S 2297, the Preventing Intelligence Gathering from Foreign Adversaries Act, amends U.S. immigration law to make certain foreign nationals inadmissible or deportable. It directly affects non-citizens subject to a foreign country's law requiring them to provide access, cooperation, or support for that country's intelligence activities. The bill adds new grounds for inadmissibility (under Section 212(a)(3)(H)) and deportability (under Section 237(a)(4)(G)) based solely on compliance with such foreign intelligence laws. This creates a specific immigration barrier for individuals compelled by their home countries to assist in foreign intelligence operations.
