Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill directs the Secretary of State to revoke student visas held by foreign nationals who are members of antisemitic organizations or have made public antisemitic statements. The legislation applies to students holding F-visas (academic students) or M-visas (vocational students) and takes effect upon enactment, requiring immediate review of current visa holders who meet these criteria. The bill also amends immigration law to prevent future student visa issuance to individuals meeting these criteria and to void visas if visa holders engage in antisemitic activities after arrival in the United States. The law defines antisemitism broadly to include hatred toward Jews and includes both rhetorical and physical manifestations directed at Jewish individuals, non-Jewish individuals, Jewish institutions, and religious facilities. No specific funding or timeline for implementation is specified in the legislation beyond the requirement that actions be taken upon enactment.
