UPRISERS Act

HR 8903, the UPRISERS Act, would revoke the student visas of international students on F, J, or M visas who are convicted of assaulting a police officer or participating in riot-related violence. It specifically targets offenses like inciting riots, organizing riots, committing violence during riots, or aiding others in such activities. The bill amends immigration law to make these convictions grounds for visa revocation and deportation. This policy directly affects international students holding these specific visa types who face criminal charges for the listed violent acts.
