    The Coast Guard is announcing that starting April 2, 2025, it will impose specific entry conditions on vessels arriving in the United States from Cuba, due to Cuba's lack of effective anti-terrorism measures. This decision is supported by U.S. laws and the designation of Cuba as a State Sponsor of Terrorism. The aim is to protect the U.S. from potential threats posed by vessels coming from countries with inadequate security measures. The list of countries deemed to have deficient anti-terrorism measures includes several others, such as Iran, Syria, and Venezuela.

    Simple Explanation

    The Coast Guard will start checking ships coming from Cuba to the U.S. to make sure they have good safety measures against bad guys. This is because Cuba doesn't have enough protections in place.

    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is launching a Voluntary Self-Reported Exit (VSRE) Pilot to collect facial images from certain non-U.S. citizens leaving the United States. This pilot, starting on March 19, 2025, will use a mobile app to gather and verify biometrics, aiming to improve the accuracy of entry-exit records by using facial recognition and geolocation technology. The pilot will help CBP evaluate the effectiveness and user-friendliness of this technology, potentially creating a more automated and secure system for tracking exits. Participation is voluntary, focusing on those subject to the I-94 form requirements.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection is starting a test program where some people leaving the U.S. can use a phone app to take a picture of their face to check out more easily. This helps them see if this new way works well for tracking who comes and goes.
