The U.S. plans to revoke more student visas soon, following the detention of Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil. Secretary of State Marco Rubio linked this action to Khalil's protests against Israel, which were labeled antisemitic. Khalil, a permanent resident, faces deportation after his involvement in campus protests. Rubio indicated that more visa revocations will occur as the government identifies individuals it believes should not be in the country. Legal experts express concern that this case may set a precedent for deporting green card holders based on political activism. They warn that equating such activism with threats to foreign policy could have serious implications.
