Bill overview
This bill, titled the SHIELD Act, temporarily suspends the admission and parole of certain individuals entering the United States from Canada or Mexico if their country of origin or recent presence has a moderate or high level of COVID-19 transmission, as determined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The measure aims to protect public health by limiting the entry of individuals from countries with elevated COVID-19 risk, though it includes exemptions for U.S. citizens, lawful residents, military personnel, and those arriving at designated ports of entry with proper documentation. Covered individuals would be transported back to their country of origin or another foreign location, if feasible.
