The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, tightened the immigration policy against young foreigners in just seven months, in tune with the hard line of Trump.
The United States Government reported that since Marco Rubio assumed as Secretary of State revoked 6,000 visas of students. The measure, applied in the last seven months, responds to the Donald Trump administration strategy to reinforce the Migratory controls and please the most conservative bases.
Rubio was proud of this policy, which relies on a law that gives the State Department the power of rescind visas in cases that consider the interests of foreign policy. In parallel, the White House promoted an agenda of Mass deportations of those who remain in the country illegally.

Chinese students and sight activists
Although the agency did not provide disaggregated data for nationality, Rubio promised to concentrate on students from China. In March, he said before the press that he revoked visas every day and about the activists said: “Every time I meet these lunatics I withdraw their visas.”
The Secretary of State particularly pointed to those who protested against Israel, accusing them of anti -Semitism, something that the students themselves rejected.

Khalil was released in June by order of a judge and then sued the Trump administration to argue that they tried “Terrorize it.”
Another episode that generated controversy was that of Rumeysa Ozturba Turkish Postgraduate student at the University of Tufts, arrested in May after having published a Critical article to Israel in the newspaper of the institution. Hooded agents dressed in civilians arrested her in Massachusetts, but a judge He arranged his release while the judicial process continues.
