State Department revokes over 6K student visas, including hundreds for ‘support for terrorism’

The US State Department has revoked thousands of student visas — most of them for overstays and various law violations ranging from DUIs and assaults to supporting terrorist organizations, including Hamas.

The visas were pulled amid President Trump’s ongoing crackdown on illegal immigrants and foreign-born college students, particularly those who have expressed support for terror groups.

Of the 6,000 rescinded student visas, around 4,000 were because the holder broke the law, a department spokesman told The Post, with the “vast majority” of the crimes committed included assault, DUI and burglary.

Around 800 of the revocations were due to the visa holder being arrested or charged with assault, an official told Fox News Digital, which first reported the news.

Troublingly, approximately 200 to 300 of the visas were revoked for “support for terrorism” — the department said, citing “INA 3B,” a section of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) pertaining to activities that justify the State Department denying someone a visa, such as “inciting terrorist activity” and “providing material support to terrorists.”

The department did not elaborate on how specifically those whose visas were being revoked were supporting terrorism; however, the official reportedly said they had engaged in behaviors such as “raising funds for the militant group Hamas.”

“Every single student visa revoked under the Trump Administration has happened because the individual has either broken the law or expressed support for terrorism while in the United States,” a senior State Department official told the outlet.

“About 4,000 visas alone have been revoked because these visitors broke the law while visiting our country, including records of assault and DUIs.”

International students have come under intense scrutiny under the Trump administration.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered US embassies and consulates in May to put the brakes on any student visa interviews. When they resumed the following month, the administration said all future applicants would be told to make their social media profiles public.

The department said this helped officials scrutinize prospective applicants for “any indications of hostility towards the citizens, culture, government, institutions or founding principles of the United States,” according to a diplomatic cable sent by the State Department to embassies and consulates at the time.

President Trump is also currently in a pitched court battle with Harvard University over his desire to strip the elite school of its ability to enroll foreign students.

The administration has so far yanked around 40,000 visas, compared to 16,000 during the same time period under former President Joe Biden.
