The No Visas for Violent Criminals Act would make certain protest-related offenses grounds for deportation of noncitizens from the United States. Specifically, the bill targets noncitizens convicted of crimes committed during protests at colleges or religious facilities, as well as those convicted of vandalizing federal monuments or intentionally blocking highways, roads, bridges, or tunnels. Under the legislation, any noncitizen convicted of these offenses would have their visa immediately cancelled and would be required to be removed from the country within 60 days of conviction. The bill does not specify new funding requirements or create a timeline for implementation beyond the 60-day removal deadline. This legislation would affect foreign nationals living in or visiting the United States, including students and visa holders, by subjecting them to expedited removal procedures for participation in certain protest activities.
