HR 2866 United States House · 119th Congress

No Visas for Anti-Semitic Students Act

HR 2866, the "No Visas for Anti-Semitic Students Act," would allow the U.S. Secretary of State to revoke or deny student visas (F or M categories) for foreign nationals who engage in specific antisemitic conduct. The bill defines prohibited conduct as physical violence, vandalism, or harassment targeting Jewish individuals or institutions with intent to harm, or providing material support to such acts. It requires the Secretary of State to determine that the conduct poses "potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences" before taking action. The law applies only to student visa holders meeting these specific criteria, not all international students. It relies on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's 2016 definition of antisemitism, including contemporary examples.
