Bill Melugin: Biden didn't deport a single pro-Hamas protestor after October 7

Despite thousands of foreign students on student visas engaging in pro-Hamas or criminal behavior in campus protests after October 7, not one student had their visa revoked by the Biden administration, according to a report yesterday (Thursday) by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin.

The report comes following the first student visa revoked by the State Department regarding an "alien who was previously cited for criminal behavior in connection with Hamas-supporting disruptions." According to Melugin, the alien is a university student, and ICE is preparing to deport him from the country.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued the following warning on the matter yesterday on X:

"Those who support designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, threaten our national security. The United States has zero tolerance for foreign visitors who support terrorists. Violators of U.S. law — including international students — face visa denial or revocation, and deportation."

The Trump administration has taken upon itself to crack down on antisemitism in higher education following a wave of protests against Israel in the wake of October 7 and the war, protests which included open support for Hamas, harassment of Jewish students, and even the establishment of disruptive encampments on campuses and the blocking of Jewish students from being able to enter and sometimes leave university buildings.

While condemning antisemitism generally, President Biden himself often showed understanding towards pro-Hamas protestors and let them know that he heard what they were saying.

The row over campus antisemitism reached its peak during a number of Congressional testimonies by the university presidents of Harvard, Penn, and MIT. There, Congresswoman and UN Ambassador-designate Elise Stefanik openly asked the three if they thought the call for a genocide of Jews constituted anti-semitism.

Without exception, all three responded evasively, saying it depended on the context, and refused to respond with a yes or no to the question.
