Key Points

Colleges would be required to immediately notify federal authorities if an international student on a study or exchange visa supports a foreign terrorist organization.
If the government confirms the student endorsed or helped one of these groups, the Secretary of State would be required to cancel their visa.
After a visa is canceled, the Department of Homeland Security would start the legal process to deport the student from the United States.
This policy targets students using F-1 or J-1 visas, which are common for university students and researchers from other countries.
