## Summary

**Ties U.S. foreign aid to countries' cooperation on deportations.** This bill would prohibit federal foreign assistance to any country that the Secretary of State has acted against under section 243(d) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and that, after 180 days, still denies or unreasonably delays accepting the nationals described in that section. - Countries that continue to deny or delay accepting their nationals would lose all federal foreign assistance funds once the Secretary of State has invoked section 243(d) and 180 days have passed. - The bill makes the Secretary of State's use of the visa-denial authority in section 243(d) the statutory trigger for withholding aid, tying visa-denial actions directly to foreign assistance eligibility. - The text sets no carve-outs or enforcement details in the provision, and it applies broadly to all federal foreign assistance funds.
