Rubio says State Department has revoked at least 300 student visas
As the Trump administration takes aim at foreign-born students, some are being picked up off the street by immigration officials and held in detention centers
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday the State Department has revoked 300 or more student visas, as the White House increasingly targets foreign-born students whose whose main transgression seems to be activism.

The detentions are a signal of a broader effort by President Donald Trump to clamp down on the actions of legal permanent residents, student visa holders and others who live and work legally in the United States, one that threatens to undermine a fundamental American right to free speech and to assemble, experts and advocates said.

No charges. She did write an op-ed in the student newspaper critical of Israel's actions in Gaza. Need I say more?

To be frank, if Justice Dept can prove the Hamas connection, they can deport. Issue is not that. Issue is-Are we following our own laws, which is the beacon of democracy. Just bring it to court, prove it, and then deport. No one is saying Hamas is welcome. We know Hamas is a terrorist organization. No one is questioning it. Just give the persons apprehended a day in the courts.
