H.R. 2273: UProot Rioting International Students Engaged in Radical Subversion Act
This bill, known as the UProot Rioting International Students Engaged in Radical Subversion Act (or UPRISERS Act), aims to take specific actions regarding certain non-U.S. citizens who are studying in the United States on student visas. The main provisions of the bill include:
1. Visa Revocation
The bill directs the Secretary of State to revoke the student visas of non-U.S. citizens who fall under the specific visa classifications (F, J, or M) of the Immigration and Nationality Act if they are convicted of the following offenses:
- Assaulting a police officer
- An offense related to rioting, which includes:
- Inciting a riot
- Organizing, promoting, encouraging, participating in, or carrying on a riot
- Committing any act of violence in support of a riot
- Aiding or abetting others in inciting or participating in a riot or committing acts of violence in support of a riot
2. Deportation Provisions
The bill also amends existing immigration laws to make student visa holders who are convicted of the above-mentioned offenses deportable. This means that any international student found guilty of assaulting a police officer or related rioting activities would not only have their visa revoked but would also be subject to removal from the United States.
Overall, this legislation seeks to enhance the consequences for non-U.S. citizens engaged in specific criminal activities related to rioting, thereby increasing the accountability of international students in the event of such offenses.
