Marco Rubio Warns All Foreign Student ‘Activists’ Will Have Visas Revoked

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has warned all foreign students that they will have their visas revoked and face deportation if they’re caught “creating a ruckus” on U.S. soil.

On Thursday, Rubio made Washington’s position on the removal of visas of “social activist” foreign students “abundantly clear.”

He responded following the removal of Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk’s visa.

Rubio warned that anyone else found to be “creating a ruckus” will also have their visa revoked.

“I don’t care what movement you’re involved in,” he told reporters from a press event in Guyana.

“Why would any country in the world allow people to come and disrupt?

“We gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree, not to become a social activist,” he added.

Rubio noted that Ozturk wrote a March 2024 op-edcriticizing the university’s ties to Israel amid the war in Gaza.

He viewed her actions as equivalent to those who “vandalize universities, harass students, take over buildings, [and] create a ruckus.”

While her op-ed never mentioned support for Hamas, the terrorist network, it did call on the university to divest from companies with ties to Israel.

The article evoked Hamas propaganda by demanding the school acknowledge the “Palestinian genocide.”

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it had found Ozturk to have “engaged in activities in support of Hamas.”

On Thursday, Rubio maintained that “every country in the world has a right to decide who comes in as a visitor and who doesn’t.”

“I encourage every country to do that, by the way, because I think it’s crazy to invite students into your country that are coming onto your campus and destabilizing it,” he told reporters.

“We’re just not going to have it.

“We’ll revoke your visa, and once your visa is revoked, you’re illegally in the country, and you have to leave,” Rubio confirmed.

The secretary said the U.S. has already revoked the student visas of 300 “lunatics” so far.

“We do it every day,” Rubio said.

“Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa.

“At some point, I hope we run out because we’ve gotten rid of all of them.

“But, we’re looking every day for these lunatics.”

Rubio also highlighted that Washington’s push to revoke the visas of “destabilizing” visitors applies not only to students.

He noted that it also applies to gang members.

The secretary pointed to the administration’s efforts to expel gang members of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua.

The violent gang members were first housed in the Guantánamo Bay prison before being transferred to Venezuela and El Salvador.
