UPRISERS Act

This bill directs the Secretary of State to revoke the visas of certain non-immigrant aliens studying or participating in exchange programs in the United States. Specifically, it targets individuals holding F, J, or M visas who have been convicted of specific offenses. The offenses triggering visa revocation include assaulting a police officer or any offense related to rioting . This encompasses inciting, organizing, promoting, encouraging, or participating in a riot, committing violence during a riot, or aiding and abetting such actions. Furthermore, the legislation amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to explicitly make these student visa holders deportable if they are convicted of the aforementioned crimes. This ensures that foreign students found guilty of these serious offenses will face both visa revocation and removal from the United States.
