Rubio Says They've Revoked At Least 300 Student Visas Related To Campus Protests
HuffPost
“We’re looking every day for these lunatics that are tearing things up," said the secretary of state.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio boasted Thursday that at least 300 student visas have been revoked since President Donald Trump took office and that they’re “looking every day” for more.
“It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa,” he said at a press conference in Guyana when asked about the number of visas revoked in relation to student protests.
“We gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree, not to become a social activist that tears up our university campuses,” he said. “So we’ll revoke your visa, and once your visa is revoked, you’re in the country illegally and you have to leave.”
The Trump administration has targeted students who participated in anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses last year, notably at Columbia University where a campus building was briefly taken over.
Columbia last week agreed to implement a number of policy changes, including to its disciplinary, protest and mask rules, after Trump threatened to revoke all of its federal funding if it didn’t make major changes to how it handles student protests.
