In plain English
Sen. Richard Durbin (D-IL) introduced this resolution to block an Immigration and Customs Enforcement rule that sets time limits on how long nonimmigrant academic students, exchange visitors, and foreign media representatives can stay in the United States and establishes a process for extending their stays. The resolution uses the congressional disapproval process, which allows Congress to overturn federal rules without presidential signature if passed by both chambers.
