## Summary

**Require a 30-day State Department report on Moldova's treatment of noncitizens removed by the United States.** This bill would ask the Secretary of State, working with the Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor and the Department's Office of the Legal Adviser, to submit a statement to Congress that catalogs alleged human rights abuses, U.S. steps to prevent or respond to rendition and trafficking, and assessments of detention conditions and legal protections for those removed to Moldova. - People removed to Moldova would get focused scrutiny because the report would require details on arbitrary arrest, due process violations, enforced disappearances, trafficking, and the legal status and treatment of noncitizens returned to Moldova. - U.S. agencies would need to provide assessments of whether U.S. security assistance could be used to support rendition, trafficking, detention, or imprisonment and to describe any assurances or agreements sought or received before removals. - Congress would receive operational details to guide oversight, including a list of individuals sent to Moldova in 2025 and 2026, summaries of meetings between Moldovan and Washington officials in those years, and descriptions of actions the U.S. is taking to protect or return affected people.
