No Visas for Violent Criminals Act

HR 9117, the "No Visas for Violent Criminals Act," amends immigration law to make certain non-citizens deportable if convicted of specific protest-related crimes. It directly affects non-U.S. citizens convicted of acts including: disrupting protests at colleges or religious institutions, damaging federal monuments (like veterans memorials), or obstructing highways/bridges. The bill requires immediate cancellation of any visa held by such individuals and mandates their removal from the U.S. within 60 days of conviction. This creates a mandatory deportation pathway for these specific offenses, not for all protests or general criminal activity.
