No Escaping Justice Act of 2026

This legislative proposal aims to impose stringent sanctions on foreign persons involved with the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking enterprise. It requires the President to annually identify individuals who knowingly engaged in, facilitated, or financially benefited from severe forms of trafficking in persons, or efforts to conceal, finance, or profit from the enterprise. This identification process relies on credible information from various sources, including government agencies, judicial proceedings, and non-governmental organizations. Once identified, these foreign persons will face mandatory sanctions. These include the blocking of all their property and interests in property within the United States or under the control of a U.S. person. Additionally, they will be deemed inadmissible to the United States , ineligible for visas, and any existing visas will be revoked. The bill outlines specific conditions under which sanctions may be waived or terminated. The President can waive sanctions if it is deemed to be in the national interest of the United States or for authorized intelligence, law enforcement, or national security activities, with prior congressional notification. Sanctions may also be terminated if a person is found not to have engaged in the sanctioned conduct, has been appropriately prosecuted and remediated harm, or has credibly demonstrated a significant change in behavior and cooperated with law enforcement.
