Rubio's warning came amid a crackdown on pro-Palestine protests that have rocked university campuses.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a strongly worded opinion piece for Fox News issued a stern warning to visa holders and foreign nationals in the United States, emphasizing that entry into the country is not a right but a privilege granted by the U.S. government to those who respect its laws and values.
Rubio라이브 바카라 comments come amid an ongoing crackdown on pro-Palestine protests disrupting university campuses. “Holders of U.S. visas must understand clearly that the government's strict security scrutiny doesn't stop once a visa is issued,” he wrote.
Labeling the pro-Palestine demonstrations as “antisemitic activities and intimidation of Americans,” Rubio claimed that many of the protesters are foreign nationals who are effectively shutting down top U.S. universities for American students. He also accused them of harassing Jewish students on campus.
Similar protests have happened at workplaces and offices across the United States too, especially in the prominent technology sector, where H-1B visa holders have publicly protested about the war against Hamas in Gaza - the most recent ones to be at tech-giant Microsoft.
Warning all visa holders, be it the H-1B visa, the F-1 visa, and even those who have green cards, Secretary Rubio wrote, "The Trump administration is committed to taking the necessary steps to stop these activities," adding that he will "continue exercising my authority to support President Trump's zero-tolerance approach to foreign nationals."
He went on to say that such protesters are abetting "terrorist organisations" in the garb of free speech, freedom of expression, and their right to protest. In a stunning claim, Secretary Rubio wrote that "The US Supreme Court has made clear for decades that visa holders or other aliens cannot use the First Amendment to shield otherwise impermissible actions taken to support designated foreign terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hizballah, or the Houthis, or violate other US laws. They will continue to face consequences - including visa denial, revocation, or deportation.
