Leave No Americans Behind Act of 2022

This bill eliminates the Department of State's repatriation loan program.  The program currently authorizes the State Department to loan funds to private U.S. citizens and third-country nationals for emergency evacuation from foreign countries where their lives are endangered by war, civil unrest, or natural disasters, rather than expending appropriated funds.
