Magnitsky Act Explanation:
The Global Magnitsky Act of 2016 authorizes the U.S. government to sanction foreign government officials worldwide who are deemed to be human rights offenders, freeze their assets, and ban them from entering the U.S. The act was named after Russian tax lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who died in a Moscow prison in 2009, after investigating a $230 million fraud involving Russian tax officials.

The Global Magnitsky Act, passed by Congress, 23 Dec 2016, was due to expire six years later on 23 Dec 2022. That expiration has now been repealed and the Global Magnitsky Act will remain in effect.

The sunset of the Global Magnitsky Act was canceled on 8 April 2022, as Joe Biden signed into law “H.R.7108 - Suspending Normal Trade Relations with Russia and Belarus Act”. This resolution contains a seemingly insignificant clause, which repeals the section of the Global Magnitsky Act, passed 23 Dec 2016, which had expressed the Global Magnitsky Act would expire in six years on 23 Dec 2022.

As Patel Patriot suggests: "Does anybody still believe the premise that Joe Biden is in control?" If the Biden administration were in control, it would not have allowed the Global Magnitsky Act to continue in force.
