(Fox) Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., has introduced legislation to stop a Biden administration move exempting some Afghan evacuees, including those who worked as a civil servant during the Taliban regime, from terror-related entry restrictions.
The “Stopping Taliban Operatives from Penetrating (STOP) Act” would nix directives issued in June to exempt certain Afghans, who were evacuated amid the Taliban takeover last summer, from terrorism-related inadmissibility grounds (TRIG).
The exemptions included those who worked as civil servants in the Taliban era of 1996-2001 and after August 15, 2021, those who supported U.S. military interests and “individuals who provided insignificant or certain limited material support to a designated terrorist organization.”
