Bill overview
This bill, the No Visas for Violent Criminals Act, aims to expedite the removal of certain non-citizens from the United States. Specifically, it expands the list of crimes that can lead to deportation by including convictions related to unlawful protest activities at institutions of higher education or religious facilities, vandalism of federal monuments, and obstruction of highways. If an alien is convicted of one of these expanded offenses, their visa will be immediately cancelled, and they will be removed from the country within 60 days.
