Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Education and the 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.
This bill requires colleges and universities to immediately report to federal authorities if they become aware that a foreign student on an F-1 or J-1 visa has endorsed or supported a designated foreign terrorist organization. Once such participation is established, the Secretary of State would revoke the student's visa, and the Department of Homeland Security would begin removal proceedings to deport the student from the United States. The bill affects international students studying at accredited institutions and applies only to organizations officially designated as foreign terrorist organizations by the State Department. There is no specific funding or timeline mentioned in the legislation beyond the requirement for "immediate" reporting. The measure would strengthen oversight of international students by creating a mandatory reporting system tied to counterterrorism enforcement.
