Student visas could be denied for antisemitism
If enacted, F-1 and M-1 student visas could be denied or revoked for antisemitic conduct. This would apply only if the Secretary of State finds the conduct could cause serious foreign policy problems for the United States. The bill would use the IHRA definition of antisemitism adopted May 26, 2016, including its examples. "Prohibited antisemitic conduct" would include violence, vandalism, or harassment against Jewish people, property, community centers, or religious sites, with intent to intimidate or harm, and knowingly funding, organizing, or inciting someone who plans those acts. These rules would apply to conduct on or after enactment, and the Secretary would have to revoke any affected visas.
