Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday that 300 student visas have been revoked, asserting "we have a right" to rescind the visas of students who participate in campus protests, despite questions about due process and First Amendment objections.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that Rumeysa Ozturk's visa was terminated due to disruptive protest behavior. He did not cite evidence. The post Rubio defends arrest of Tufts student, says more ‘lunatics’ will be targeted appeared first on Boston.
