Republican Senators Tim Scott and Bernie Moreno introduced the Stop Madness Act, which aims to give President Trump new powers to sanction foreign entities involved in illegal immigration. This includes imposing economic sanctions on governments that do not accept their citizens back. The bill allows the president to block assets and restrict transactions related to individuals and organizations that facilitate unlawful immigration. It also mandates a report to Congress on actions taken under the bill. Scott emphasized that the legislation is designed to hold accountable countries and criminal organizations that undermine U.S. immigration laws. Moreno stated it would empower the president to apply pressure on corrupt foreign officials.
