This resolution would block a rule issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that changed how long certain foreign visitors can stay in the United States. The ICE rule, published in July 2026, replaced the previous open-ended "duration of status" system with a fixed time limit and a formal extension process for international students, exchange visitors, and foreign media representatives working in the U.S. Using its authority under the Congressional Review Act, the Senate is moving to formally disapprove this rule, which would nullify it and prevent it from taking effect. If passed by both chambers and signed into law (or enacted over a veto), the measure would affect colleges and universities hosting international students, exchange programs, and foreign journalists, restoring the prior, more flexible system for determining how long these visitors may remain in the country. The resolution was introduced in September 2026 and has already been discharged from committee and placed on the Senate calendar for further action.
