Jake Tapper scrutinized the Trump administration's rationale behind the recent arrests of foreign students by the Department of Homeland Security, highlighting the lack of specific evidence regarding their alleged misconduct. His critique pointed to the ambiguous statements from the State Department regarding the students' supposed violations, particularly their involvement in protest activities without clear evidence of any criminal behavior. Tapper's investigation raises significant concerns about the implications for freedom of speech and due process for immigrants in the U.S.
Running back clips of Secretary of State Marco Rubio's previous statements on the arrests, Tapper kept pushing: So the question is, where is the evidence of they must abide by our laws' where's the evidence that they broke laws?
So what is the problematic behavior exhibited by any of these students? The State Department would give us no details, he said.
One conservative writer, Jeffrey Blair, in National Review today noted, quote, this sets a hugely dangerous precedent. Are you comfortable with immigrants being ejected for exercising basic speech rights?
There has just been no evidence presented. All we know is that these people were involved in protest movements, but we don't know of any disturbing behavior.
