Protecting the United States From Foreign Terrorists and Other National Security and Public Safety Threats

The EO implements stricter vetting and screening processes for foreign nationals seeking entry. It also mandates collaboration between the Secretary of State, the AG, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the DNI to identify potential threats and ensure that immigrants do not harbor hostile intentions towards the U.S. The order also requires a review of current regulations to prevent the misuse of visa programs and ensure the proper assimilation of lawful immigrants. Additionally, it directs the evaluation of countries with deficient vetting information to determine the need for admission suspensions.
