A lawsuit was filed against Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem by the Stanford Daily and two noncitizen students. The case challenges provisions in the Immigration and Nationality Act, including the 'Deportation Provision', which allows deportation based on speech, and the 'Revocation Provision', permitting visa revocation at any time. The plaintiffs argue these provisions are used to target noncitizens for expressing views on U.S. foreign policy, violating the First Amendment and creating a chilling effect on political discourse.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Trump administration are trying to turn the inalienable human right of free speech into a privilege contingent upon the whims of a federal bureaucrat, triggering deportation proceedings against noncitizens residing lawfully in this country for their protected political speech regarding American and Israeli foreign policy.
The plaintiffs claim the government has used the provisions to revoke visas and threaten deportation of noncitizens who have expressed views on U.S. and Israeli foreign policy, resulting in what they describe as a 'chilling effect' on political expression.
