H.J.Res. 215 was introduced in the House seeking congressional disapproval, under chapter 8 of title 5, of an ICE rule establishing a fixed time period of admission and extension-of-stay procedure for nonimmigrant academic students, exchange visitors, and foreign media representatives. The resolution was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Constitutional basis: Congress using the Congressional Review Act's routine, well-established disapproval mechanism against an agency rule, exactly as designed since 1996.
