The Trump administration is cracking down on foreign students who support Hamas. Over 300 visas have been canceled so far. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says these students came to study, not to vandalize campuses or threaten Jewish students. The government uses AI to find social media posts backing Hamas.
Rubio explains the rules clearly. If you come to America and break the law, you lose your visa. He compared it to inviting someone to your house who then trashes it. You’d kick them out. That’s what America is doing now. The State Department checks social media for pro-Hamas messages linked to terrorist groups.
A new program called “Catch and Revoke” targets students who joined violent protests. Some colleges like Columbia and UCLA had chaos last year. The administration warns schools could lose their right to host foreign students if they allow too much trouble. This hits colleges hard because foreign students pay big money to study here.
Brooke Goldstein, a top lawyer fighting for Jewish rights, backs these moves. She says it’s not about free speech. It’s about stopping violence and trespassing. Goldstein argues groups tied to Iran and Hamas are behind the protests. She praises Trump and Rubio for protecting Jews and enforcing the law.
Critics whine about free speech, but conservatives aren’t buying it. They say supporting Hamas isn’t speech—it’s aiding terrorism. The State Department points out visas require good behavior. Break the rules, face the consequences. Even some judges agree, blocking attempts to slow deportations.
Schools like Yale are causing problems. They offer help to students facing visa removal but ignored Jewish students harassed by protesters. Conservatives call this hypocrisy. They say colleges care more about Hamas supporters than protecting Jewish kids.
President Trump vows to keep going. He warned last year that Hamas sympathizers would be deported. Now he’s doing it. The plan includes checking old cases and banning refugees from Gaza. Trump says this keeps America safe and stops radicals from taking over campuses.
This crackdown shows Trump’s promise to put America first. By booting lawbreakers and standing with Israel, he’s proving strong leadership works. Conservatives cheer these steps as common sense. They say it’s time to clean up campuses and protect our values.
