Bill Summary

A BILL To direct the Secretary of State to revoke the visas of students who have engaged in antisemitic activities, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill directs the Secretary of State to revoke or deny student visas (specifically F and M visas) for international students who engage in antisemitic activities that could potentially have serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States. The bill defines antisemitism using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition, which includes both direct acts and supporting such acts. Prohibited antisemitic conduct specifically includes physical violence, vandalism, or harassment targeting Jewish individuals, their property, community institutions, or religious facilities with the intent to intimidate or harm, as well as providing material support (such as funding, organizing, or inciting) to individuals planning such acts. If the Secretary of State determines that a student has engaged in such conduct, they must revoke the student's visa and prevent them from maintaining or obtaining nonimmigrant student status. The bill aims to protect Jewish individuals and communities from targeted harassment and violence by implementing consequences for international students who engage in antisemitic behavior.
