Marco Rubio Is on Fire, and Rep. Jayapal Just Got Burned"If someone is coming here to stir up problems on our campuses, we're going to revoke their visa." -Secretary of State, Marco Rubio
At the center of the clash was Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish national and former University of Massachusetts student who penned a pro-Hamas op-ed in which she accused Israel of committing "genocide" in Gaza and demanded American universities divest from theUSally. That op-ed triggered the revocation of her student visa—something Jayapal claimed was unconstitutional. "Where in the Constitution does it say that the Secretary of State can override the First Amendment protections of free speech?" she asked. "Is there a footnote that I missed somewhere?"

Rubio fired right back. "If someone is coming here to stir up problems on our campuses, we're going to revoke their visa."

She wrote an op-ed... and I'm talking to you about her particular case." "That's her lawyer's claims and your claims," Rubio shot back. "Those are not the facts." "You revoked her student visa because she wrote an op-ed," she accused. Rubio doubled down without blinking. "Yes, proudly," he said. "And we're going to do more of them. We are going to revoke the visa of anyone who's in the country as a guest who's here to stir up trouble."...
