Cotton, Rubio Call On Biden Officials to Deport Pro-Hamas Foreign StudentsJohn Binder 16 Oct 2023
Amid attacks on Israel by Hamas terrorists in which at least 25 Americans were killed, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) is calling on President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to deport foreign nationals who voice support for the terrorist organization — starting with those holding F-1 student visas.
On Monday, Cotton sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, urging him to begin the process of immediately deporting pro-Hamas foreign nationals, especially those participating in anti-Israel rallies on college campuses across the United States.
“I write to urge you to immediately deport any foreign national — including and especially any alien on a student visa — that has expressed support for Hamas and its murderous attacks on Israel,” Cotton writes. “These fifth-columnists have no place in the United States.”
Cotton notes that “federal law is clear that any alien who ‘endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization’ is inadmissible and must be deported.”
Mayorkas ought to start the deportations with those foreign student visa-holders at Harvard University who signed a letter from the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Committee that blamed Israel for Hamas’s murdering hundreds of Israelis, including some Americans, the senator said.
