Colleges must report foreign students supporting terrorist organizations.

This bill requires US colleges to immediately report F-1 or J-1 visa students to federal authorities (SEVIS) if they endorse or support foreign terrorist organizations. If this support is confirmed, the student's visa will be immediately revoked, and the Department of Homeland Security will start deportation proceedings. This measure aims to enhance national security by quickly addressing potential threats posed by nonimmigrant students.
