UPRISERS Act

Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Bill 119 hr 2273, also known as the "Visa Revocation for Criminal Aliens Act," aims to address the issue of foreign nationals who have been admitted to the United States under section 101(a)(15)(F) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and have subsequently been convicted of assault on a police officer or an offense related to rioting.

The bill directs the Secretary of State to revoke the visa of any alien who falls into this category. This means that these individuals would no longer be allowed to legally remain in the United States and would be required to leave the country.

The rationale behind this bill is to ensure the safety and security of law enforcement officers and the general public. By revoking the visas of individuals who have committed violent acts against police officers or have been involved in rioting, the government aims to prevent further harm and maintain order within the country. It is important to note that this bill specifically targets individuals who have been convicted of these specific offenses, rather than all foreign nationals admitted under section 101(a)(15)(F) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This targeted approach is intended to address a specific issue without unfairly penalizing individuals who have not committed these types of crimes. Overall, the "Visa Revocation for Criminal Aliens Act" seeks to uphold the rule of law and protect the safety of both law enforcement officers and the public by removing individuals who have been convicted of violent offenses from the country.
