This joint resolution would block a Department of Homeland Security rule that establishes fixed time periods for how long foreign students, exchange visitors, and foreign journalists can stay in the United States and creates a procedure for extending their stays. The rule, issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in July 2026, would be invalidated if Congress approves this measure. The resolution uses the congressional disapproval process, which allows lawmakers to reject federal agency regulations. The bill was introduced by Representative Jayapal and more than 50 cosponsors, suggesting concern that the rule would negatively affect these groups. If passed by both chambers and signed by the President, the rule would be eliminated and no longer have legal effect.
