More than 300 student visas have been revoked as the Trump administration works to crack down on student protesters who have expressed support for Hamas and other terrorist organizations.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in A. Press conference On Thursday, the administration revoked visas from “madman” and “everyday” and the number could exceed 300. The news comes as the news has taken dramatic steps to end the often violent anti-Semitic protests that have been held on university campuses across the United States since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7, 2023.

“It could be over 300 at this point,” Rubio said. “We do that every day. Every time we find one of these crazy people, I remove their visa.”

Some protesters have already been deported, while several others have been detained as they await deportation measures. There are over 1.5 million student visa holders in the United States. According to To Axios, which first reported the number of visas that were revoked.

Protests at universities like Columbia have led to hundreds of discrimination complaints, leaving behind multi-week campuses, buildings on campus were overtaken, and Jewish students reported harassment and assault while university administrators stood up and did nothing. Both independent and congressional investigations found that many of these schools were unable to enact punishment for students involved in occasionally violent cases, and sometimes expressed support for Prohama students.

Several lawsuits have been filed against universities across the country as Jewish students reported that they were unsafe and were unable to access parts of the campus.

In recent weeks, the Trump administration has launched investigations of multiple schools due to a clear lack of response to discrimination concerns, stripping $400 million of Columbia for failing to protect Jewish students. The university has since committed to implementing the policy and claimed it punished several students, but refused to respond to the daily caller news foundation investigation.

A recent court decision has threatened to throw a wrench on the administration’s agenda to deport foreign extremists, and one order prevents the Trump administration from detaining individuals facing deportation measures and prevents Columbia from handing over student discipline records to Congress.

The State Department did not immediately respond to DCNF’s request for comment.
