## Summary

**Requires colleges to report students who support designated foreign terrorist organizations.** It would force institutions to notify SEVIS when an F-1 or J-1 student takes part in activity that supports or endorses a group designated as a foreign terrorist organization, and could lead to visa revocation and removal proceedings. - Institutions of higher education would have to immediately report suspected student participation in support of or endorsement of designated foreign terrorist organizations to SEVIS. - Students on F-1 and J-1 visas could face revocation of their visa by the Secretary of State if participation is established, and the Department of Homeland Security would initiate removal proceedings under the Immigration and Nationality Act. - The bill defines key terms used for enforcement: “foreign terrorist organization” as entities designated under INA section 219, “institution of higher education” as approved schools subject to section 641 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, and SEVIS as the Department of Homeland Security system.
