Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
This bill would stop the U.S. government from giving any money to three United Nations groups: the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), and the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).
It also orders the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to study and audit related funding. The GAO must find all federal programs that sent grants or loans to these groups, list the nongovernmental organizations that got money through them, total up amounts given in 2021–2025, note any funding limits, and say how much these UN groups should repay to the U.S. The GAO must also audit the State Department’s Refugee Travel Loan Program and report the results to Congress within 180 days after the law takes effect.
