Holding
A bipartisan reauthorization of the North Korean Human Rights Act through 2030: freedom-of-information broadcasting into North Korea, Special Envoy accountability, faith-based refugee/defector resettlement support, new sanctions against forced repatriation of NK refugees (targeting China's complicity), and reporting on regime exploitation of humanitarian aid. Aligned: freedom of information for a captive people (II, VII), opposition to a Communist nuclear adversary and its enablers (I, XVIII), refuge for the persecuted through faith-based orgs (XI), non-military pressure with accountability (XVI). Tempered a notch below the pure Cuba resolution (0810, 78) by minor operational humanitarian-aid and refugee-resettlement elements (X, VI) — which do NOT trigger Rule 6 (aid carries exploitation-accountability and is not the thrust; refugee support is a small vetted anti-communist defector population). Bipartisan anti-communist freedom measure alongside 0810 and 0813.
It is the judgment of this Court that Opinion No. 2026-0814 is hereby entered into the record, in accordance with the America First Constitutional Standard. The score stands. The reasoning is published. The record is public.
