No student visas for schools in 'sanctuary' areas.
This bill would prevent international students from getting F or M visas if their chosen school is in a 'sanctuary jurisdiction.' This means schools in these areas—like colleges, universities, and vocational schools—could not accept students needing these visas. The Secretary of Homeland Security would identify 'sanctuary jurisdictions' annually.
Currently, international students can get F-1 or M-1 visas to study at any eligible academic or vocational institution in the U.S. This bill would change that by preventing these visas from being issued to students planning to attend schools located in areas identified by the Secretary of Homeland Security as 'sanctuary jurisdictions.' This means certain schools would no longer be able to accept international students who need these specific visas.
