Summary
This Order authorizes increased vetting and screening of those seeking admission to the United States, and those already in the United States. Agencies are directed to establish a uniform baseline for screening and vetting standards consistent with those in effect prior to the Biden administration that will be used for any applicants seeking a visa or any immigration benefit, including enhanced vetting for those coming from countries with identified security risks. The Order also directs agencies to identify countries for which vetting and screening information is deficient enough to warrant a partial or full ban on entry for nationals of those countries, as well as identifying entrants from those countries during the Biden administration to review their actions or activities since their admission to the U.S.
