"Russians traveled to the United States with the explicit purpose to learn more about American political & electoral processes & how they could interfere. One of Mueller's indictments describes how these Russians gathered intelligence during a three-week trip in June 2014."

"According to the indictment, these Russians "falsely claimed they were traveling for personal reasons." They traveled across America to collect intelligence for the Internet Research Agency's operations, which included waging "information warfare" against the 2016 election."

"The DETER Act would make "improper interference in U.S. elections" a ground of inadmissibility under U.S. immigration law. Violators would be barred from obtaining a visa to enter the United States."
