The UPRISERS Act directs the Secretary of State to revoke the visas of international students who have been convicted of assaulting a police officer or committing riot-related offenses. The bill applies to students admitted under F, J, or M visa categories (which cover academic students, exchange visitors, and vocational students). The legislation also makes such students deportable under immigration law. The bill contains no specific funding allocations or implementation timelines, leaving those details to the Secretary of State to determine. Once enacted, the law would take effect immediately and apply to any foreign students with qualifying convictions.
