The Trump administration, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has intensified efforts to revoke the visas of individuals sympathetic to Hamas. Over 300 student visas have been revoked, with a focus on those deemed supportive of terrorism. A new directive mandates comprehensive social media investigations for visa applicants worldwide, enabling denial for any advocacy of terrorist activities. This policy aims to strengthen national security by identifying and denying entry to individuals who could potentially harm U.S. interests abroad, reflecting an aggressive stance on immigration and national security.
Secretary Rubio stated, "Maybe more, it might be more than 300 at this point," regarding the revocation of student visas during the Trump administration's crackdown.
Rubio emphasized the urgency, stating, "I hope at some point we run out because we have gotten rid of all of them, but we're looking every day for these lunatics..."
The directive, 'Action Request: Enhanced Screening and Social Media Vetting for Visa Applicants,' allows visa refusals for those advocating for or supporting terrorism.
Under immigration law, the Secretary of State can revoke green cards and visas if the applicant's actions could harm national security or foreign policy.
