Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Education and 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 U.S. colleges and universities to immediately report to federal authorities (through the SEVIS system) when they discover that a foreign student on an F-1 or J-1 visa has endorsed or supported a designated foreign terrorist organization. If the Secretary of State confirms such activity, the student's visa would be revoked and the Department of Homeland Security would begin removal proceedings to deport the student. The legislation applies specifically to colleges receiving federal funds and uses the government's existing list of officially designated foreign terrorist organizations to define what qualifies as terrorism support. The bill contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timeline beyond the requirement for "immediate" reporting by institutions.
