Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Education and Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

Colleges to report foreign students supporting terror. Visas revoked, students removed.

This bill would make colleges immediately report foreign students on F-1 or J-1 visas who support foreign terrorist organizations. If reported, these students would have their visas taken away and face legal steps to be removed from the U.S. This changes current rules, which do not clearly require such reporting.

What Would Change

Current law does not explicitly require colleges to report F-1 or J-1 students who support foreign terrorist organizations, nor does it mandate visa revocation or removal based on such reports. This bill would require colleges to immediately report these students to SEVIS, which would lead to the Secretary of State revoking their visas and the Secretary of Homeland Security initiating removal proceedings.

Key Provisions

Requires colleges to immediately report F-1 or J-1 foreign students who support foreign terrorist organizations to SEVIS.
Revokes F-1 or J-1 visas for students if the Secretary of State confirms their support for a foreign terrorist organization.
Initiates legal proceedings to remove foreign students from the U.S. if their F-1 or J-1 visas are revoked for supporting a foreign terrorist organization.
