Dude I'm not surprised by this at all... think about it, Rubio was always super close with Trump and now we're finding out he's been targeting these students for being outspoken about Palestine? It's like, what's next? They'll be deporting people for having differing opinions on social media 
. And don't even get me started on the "hostile environment" thing... sounds like they just want to silence anyone who's not going to toe their party line. I'm literally shaking with rage thinking about how Rubio could have used his position to target these students unfairly

This is wild that they were targeted for their activism on Palestinian rights... I mean it makes sense that Rubio would try to create a hostile environment for pro-Palestinian students but revoking visas over op-ed pieces? That's some serious overreach 
. The fact that there's no evidence of any terrorist ties is basically irrelevant, right? I guess it highlights how politicized the immigration system can be in this country 
The fact that he claimed it was because they supported terrorism but internal documents showed it was actually just their protests and op-eds is wild. And now Rumeysa Öztürk's visa got revoked due to her involvement in an org linked to a campus group that was later banned... it's just not right 
. I remember when we were in school, we thought we had freedom of speech covered 
. Guess not, huh?
I'm totally fine with it if Marco Rubio targeted those students for their pro-Palestinian views. Like, what's wrong with expressing your opinion on a social issue? It's the whole "hostile environment" thing that's messed up - we should be promoting free speech and debate, not trying to silence people who disagree with us. The fact that they were getting these deportation orders for speaking out is actually kinda refreshing - it shows someone's not afraid to take a stand. And if Rumeysa Öztürk's op-ed piece was linked to an organization that got banned from campus, maybe she should've thought twice before writing it... I mean, who wouldn't want to get on the bad side of DHS?
