The State Department, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, has revoked over 300 student visas as the White House targets foreign-born students who are activists. Many scholars have been detained, some with little warning and no clear reason, often for participating in pro-Palestinian movements. The administration seems to be cracking down on legal residents and student visa holders under the guise of national security threats, despite their lack of criminal backgrounds. The recent detentions raise concerns about the erosion of free speech rights and the targeting of students for their activism. While some students have been deported, others are fighting against their removal from the United States. This crackdown is part of a broader effort by President Trump to deport individuals based on their activities, such as advocating for certain causes or participating in protests. Some groups have compiled lists of individuals for deportation, targeting those who promote what they see as anti-American or anti-Semitic rhetoric. The recent actions by the administration have sparked a conversation about the limits of free speech and the role of colleges in supporting students who speak out against government policies.
