SJRES213A joint resolution providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the Department of Homeland Security relating to "Establishing a Fixed Time Period of Admission and an Extension of Stay Procedure for Nonimmigrant Academic Students, Exchange Visitors, and Representatives of Foreign Information Media".
Disapproves and nullifies a DHS/ICE rule that would have imposed a fixed time period of admission (with extension procedures) for nonimmigrant academic students, exchange visitors, and representatives of foreign information media, so the prior indefinite-duration policy for these categories remains,
That Congress disapproves the rule submitted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the Department of Homeland Security relating to ``Establishing a Fixed Time Period of Admission and an Extension of Stay Procedure for Nonimmigrant Academic Students, Exchange Visitors, and Representatives of Foreign Information Media'' (91 Fed. Reg. 44976 (July 17, 2026)), and such rule shall have no force or effect.

Why the model tagged it this way: The joint resolution uses the Congressional Review Act to repeal a specific ICE rule on fixed admission periods and extensions for certain nonimmigrant visas; this is an immigration-enforcement measure because it directly concerns admission, stay duration, and procedures for nonimmigrants (students/exchange visitors/media reps), but the bill does not address state-federal cooperation, sanctuary policies, state crimes, E-Verify, or detention/transport.
