No Student Visas for Sanctuary Cities Act

This bill aims to prevent the issuance of student visas for individuals seeking to study at educational institutions located in so-called "sanctuary jurisdictions." This means foreign students would not be able to obtain a visa if their chosen school or university is in an area that obstructs immigration enforcement. This will impact the availability of education for some non-U.S. students.
Key points
Colleges and schools in sanctuary jurisdictions will be unable to accept students on F and M visas.
Sanctuary jurisdictions are defined as areas that hinder cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
The ban can be lifted if a jurisdiction is no longer identified as a sanctuary jurisdiction.
