Requires colleges to report F-1 or J-1 students who support a foreign terrorist organization to SEVIS, leading to visa revocation and removal proceedings, so more immigration enforcement against such students.

An institution of higher education shall immediately report to the SEVIS when a student holding a J-1 or F-1 nonimmigrant visa has participated in activity in support of, or as an endorsement of, a foreign terrorist organization. The Secretary of State shall revoke such visa if the Secretary determines that such participation is established. In the case of a student whose visa is revoked under this section, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall initiate removal proceedings with respect to the student under the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1101 et seq.).

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill requires institutions of higher education to report nonimmigrant students (F-1 or J-1 visas) who endorse or support a foreign terrorist organization to SEVIS, which triggers visa revocation by the Secretary of State and initiation of removal proceedings by DHS. This expands immigration enforcement by mandating cooperation from educational institutions and increasing the likelihood of deportation for such students. No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
