The United States has revoked visas Of more than 6000 foreign students since the tightening of the rules imposed by the Trump administration to fight in particular against illegal immigration, an American official said on Monday.

About “4000 of these 6,000 visas were dismissed because these visitors have violated the law,” he said.
Aimed militant students
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also revoked many visa for students who have led critical demonstrations with regard to the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip.
Last March, he declared to revoke visas daily, saying about militant foreign students: “Whenever I find one of these crazy people, I remove their visa.”
According to a decree signed from the first day of his presidency in January, Donald Trump called for increased control of the people entering the United States to ensure that they “have no hostile attitudes towards his citizens, his culture, his government, his institutions or his founding principles”.
Since then, the Trump administration has engaged in a series of battles against universities, canceling thousands of visas and attacking renowned universities suspected of going against the United States foreign policy interests.
