The State Department Has Revoked Another 6,000 "Student" Visas for Crime and Supporting Terrorism

It's a good start.

The State Department has yanked more than 6,000 student visas in 2025 for overstays and law violations -- including support for terrorism, Fox News Digital has learned.

The Trump administration has launched multiple initiatives aimed at cracking down on immigration and revoking visas of those attending academic institutions in the U.S.

Those who've participated in pro-Palestinian protests have faced heightened scrutiny, as one example, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in May that the administration was reviewing the visa status of those students.

The roughly 6,000 visas that were pulled were primarily due to visa overstays or encounters with the law, including assault, DUIs, burglary and support for terrorism, the State Department told Fox News Digital.

"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 said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "About 4,000 visas alone have been revoked because these visitors broke the law while visiting our country, including records of assault and DUIs."


Those who had their student visas yanked due to assault -- roughly 800 students -- either faced arrest or charges stemming from assault, according to the State Department official.

Those whose visas were pulled due to support for terrorism -- between 200 people to 300 people -- engaged in behavior such as raising funds for the militant group Hamas, which the U.S. State Department has designated as a terrorist organization, the official said.

Altogether, the State Department told Fox News Digital that approximately 40,000 visas have been pulled in 2025, in comparison to the 16,000 that were revoked during the same time frame under the Biden administration.


"Even if the previous administration was doing less, they were still revoking visas," the State Department official said. "It's not something that just started on January 20 ... So this has happened for years."

Rubio told lawmakers in May that he estimated "thousands" of student visas had been rescinded since January.

"I don't know the latest count, but we probably have more to do," Rubio told lawmakers on the Senate appropriations subcommittee overseeing foreign affairs May 20. "We're going to continue to revoke the visas of people who are here as guests and are disrupting our higher education facilities."

The Democrat Party, the Party of Foreign Terrorists, objects, claiming that foreigners have some kind of right to come to America to raise money for Hamas and that taking away their visa is a denial of due process.

Communists are objecting to the USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Service) now looking at applicants' social media history to determine if they're anti-American, pro-terrorist, or criminally-inclined.

They seriously believe that criminals and terrorists have a right to come to America just because they're f***ing foreign and therefore superior to American citizens.

I just don't see any moderation happening ever until the party is driven from power.

Way too many nuts, and trying to form some kind of unofficial coalition with a minor party just to get a moderate PM could just outright blow things up.

Maybe Starmer goes, but his replacement will be more likely to be a Somali warlord than someone "moderate" like Tony Blair.

Not bad at all! Stories like this post are so f-ing encouraging. I always knew immigration was a huge problem, but it wasn't until we started WINNING that it became evident to me how the issue spreads across so many other issues - voting, apportionment, education, safety, etc. Winning this issue will have a ripple effect, I think, on other important issues.

Instead of chanting "whose streets? our streets", it would have been better to all chant, "We love bacon". The fact that the gestapo bobbies are pulling this kid off the line visibly counteracts the chant. These are definitely not your streets.

Many women have proven amazingly easy to manipulate with ads and propaganda, even more so than men. The "you have to go to college to get a good job and get rich and all the stuff you want and make yourself powerful and independent" got deep into female consciousness.

Men have figured out that college is a huge waste of money for most people and worse, is deeply hostile to them simply for being male.

It looks like female enrollment peaked five years ago, 58.56% of 18-24 women were in college, and it's slipped the next couple of years with data down to 57.94%.

Will it continue? With the college experience becoming nearly 60% female, I don't see why not.

92 You know who's really sad about this? The University of California. They RAKE IN massive piles of $$$ from foreign student admissions, which are 3x to 4x what in-state tuition is. Plus, many of the foreign students count as "minorities," which boosts their DEI goals. ANd lastly, a lt of the foreign "students" bring anti-American ideologies and attitudes wit them, seen as a benefit as it helps to promote the anti-Western/anti-capitalist/anti-white/anti-etc. ambience of te campus.

So, unvetted foreign student visas are a three-fer as far as the Univerosty is concerned. The Trump admin is giving them the sadz.

Years ago we got an Uber from the airport. The mild-mannered young man driving was fluent in English. He said he was from Palestine, and told us the Israelis had killed his girlfriend there by machine-gunning her from a helicopter. The supposed loss of his girlfriend didn't appear to affect him.

He drove at a moderate speed in the highway fast lane, oblivious to the cars stacked up behind him honking their horns or angrily zooming around him. He was unaware that it was the passing lane, and said he found it agreeable to drive there.

121 Will it continue? With the college experience becoming nearly 60% female, I don't see why not.

There is a huge cultural push to get women in college (and STEM especially). It used to be a good spot for young women to find a husband ("getting their MRS degree") so women would go largely to get a college-educated guy and get to know them without dating in the usual sense. Honestly, a better system than most.

Now the push in every single medium is for young women to go to college to get a degree and they don't need no man.

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 20, 2025 12:28 PM (dfIr7)

Judge Kevin Mullins was shot at a courthouse, allegedly by Letcher County Sheriff Shawn 'Mickey' Stines, back in September.

Stines and Mullins knew each other for years. On the day of the incident, the two men, along with some others, had lunch together.

After lunch, Stines asked if he and Mullins should meet privately, which is when the incident occurred.

Stines is currently awaiting trial. He pleaded not guilty to one count of m*rder.

Posted by: Soothsayer


Yeah the colleges have been panicking for a couple of years now about the upcoming drop in absolute numbers of kids in the college age demographic.

It's almost as if making it difficult for people to have kids and encouraging them to kill the ones they do have is bad for businesses that rely on large numbers of future people for their continued existence.

164 156 Hanging for encroaching on Article II powers could be interesting.

We are at a place where pushback against judicial abuse is getting more and more inevitable. And that's really dangerous for the country but they seem to not care.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at August 20, 2025 12:35 PM (dfIr7)

=======

I actually don't think it is, that pushback is becoming increasingly inevitable.

The higher courts are generally following SCOTUS's lead, leaving smaller and smaller pockets of district court resistance that ultimately don't matter that much.

Take Maryland Man. Brought back to TN to face criminal charges because of judicial coup stuff while...300,000 other people have been forcibly deported using all of the same statutes and procedures used to deport Garcia.

Stacey

My wife was diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometrial Cancer on Sunday, March 5th, 2023.
She had been seeing an Oncologist in Plano, Tx that even the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston referred patients to him. After two years, the chemotherapy is no longer working. Actually, it was doing more harm than good. The oncologist wanted to pause it for a couple of weeks to let her body try to heal from the effects of the chemo. We put her on Hospice on Friday, August 1st, 2025.

We thought we'd have more time, but God had other plans. I guess our infant granddaughter needed her grandmother more.

At 10:20 Central Time, she went Home to be with her father, brother, granddaughter and our Lord.

210 132 The entire Democrat controlled West Coast is a disaster...
Seattle Times:
Fred Meyer’s parent company Kroger is closing two locations in Kent and Everett, citing concerns over theft and regulations, as part of a national effort to cut costs
"Unfortunately, due to a steady rise in theft and a challenging regulatory environment that adds significant costs, we can no longer make these stores financially viable,” a Fred Meyer spokesperson said
Monday’s announcement, which follows several other recent Kroger closures in Washington, sparked concerns in Kent and Everett, where locals worry over declining access to grocery stores, especially in underserved neighborhoods.
“It’s taking away another resource from a neighborhood that’s already hurting,” warned Everett City Councilmember Paula Rhyne, who describes the area around the closing Everett Fred Meyer as among the city’s most diverse and lowest income. News of the closure “is devastating"...

I feel like I need to clean house here so:

Trump is not a hero.

The Butler assassination was certainly staged (I don't claim to know by who) to make Trump appear like he was saved by God and guarantee more people voting for him.

Even though the Predator Class wants people to vote so they give their moral and spiritual support for this evil system, the elections have always been rigged and 2020 was nothing special.

The lawfare and hate from the media was also done by design to build up sympathy for him so people think he is fighting the deep state while he literally works with the people behind the deep state.

Trump is not going to save America. He is an authoritarian working with Technocrats to bring about the American Technate under the guise of the "Golden Age of America".

No, it wouldn't be better with Kamala/Biden necessarily, but, yes, lots of conservatives and right wingers and MAGA are pacified now because "Daddy's" in the White House and they think there's no more work to be done. These folks are making excuses for things Trump does while full well knowing they would call it out if it was "the other side"...

Groundswell doesn't matter when the DOJ is still just following the appeals process all the time, and the appeals process keeps backing the DOJ up.

And I don't see a groundswell. I see sudden upticks in frustration that go away once the newest little wrinkle is out of the news fifteen minutes later.

And those wrinkles are becoming fewer and further between. What we're mostly seeing is the remnants of suits filed months ago that are just steadily dying out while we're also getting final judgements on things like...Trump having the power to fire CFPB personnel like what happened last week in the DC Circuit.

237 do have a question about revoking visas . Since so many people stay here since their visa revocation how do we know these people will get booted out
——-

Huge scandal for decades. Recall many or most of the 9/11/2001 hijackers were “Visa Overstays”.

I think it is an administrative thing, but they are called “Absconders” or something like that, when the government claims have no idea where they are. Of course they can track a cow from calf to hamburger on the shelf for recall purposes, though humans are impossible to monitor. That’s just how it is.

There were several hundred thousand absconders, and that was 20 years ago. My first inkling that out government wasn’t serious about anything was realizing millions of illegals pouring across the border unmonitored made a mockery of public health, immunizations. We have a system where the “natives” are harassed endlessly, but foreign invaders are allowed to do anything, at least up until they kill someone. This too, is our fault, somehow.

I don't find fake shit entertaining whether it is reddit or some social media ponce pontificating or the endless waves of butthurt trolls on websites leaning to the right like Disqus or polluting normal discussion boards having little to do with politics.

The paid asshole influencer agitator crap is always transparent and always directed toward against fixing problems because either a) they claim they have a superior yet undisclosed solution or b) nothing will ever change and we are all defeated type of bullshit.

The depressed blackpillers are bad enough--the paid bandwagon shitheads are simply pollutants that need banhammering asap. As do the people that bring those turds here under the guise of information (because it is so important to know what rando assholes on the internet think about something).

One of the reasons I never cared for Tucker way back when he was on Crossfire--he always seemed fake and gay to me for pay. And events since then re-confirm my initial opinion of him time and again.

Trump guaranteed that while US planes may patrol skies in a post peace security deal, no troops will be stationed on the ground.

“You have my assurance, and I’m President,” Trump confirmed.

“There will be some form of security. It can’t be NATO because that’s just not something that would ever, ever happen, it couldn’t,” Trump further outlined.

“When it comes to security [the Europeans are] willing to put people on the ground, we’re willing to help them with things, especially… by air because nobody has the kind of stuff we have,” he asserted.

If Crooks had used Instagram or Facebook or Reddit only the FNM would still be arguing he was a Trump supporter

400 The Kentucky judge who was shot by a sheriff is accused of having s*x with inmates from the jail in exchange for more lenient sentences.

"I was part of it. I was one of them," said accuser Tya Adams.

Judge Kevin Mullins was shot at a courthouse, allegedly by Letcher County Sheriff Shawn 'Mickey' Stines, back in September.

A Las Vegas Breakfast sandwich at Dunkin Donuts, apparently in Cesar's Palace, is $13.99. The same thing in other states is around $4.29 - 4.49. Regular drip coffee: $6.99, an XL is $8.99.

This is the difference between a Dunkin Donuts egg sandwich pricing in Vegas vs the rest of the country

A video showed an empty store during breakfast hours.

Hotels like Ceasers are in so much debt their interest payments have been as high as $6.5 million PER DAY, now averaging $2.36 million per day just in interest payments

Interest rates the banking industry is allowed to get away with is CRUSHING the American economy

Think about that, over $2 million a day just in interest…

Corporate debt is a major issue in enshittification and financialization of the US economy. Fair tax treatment would be allowing corporate deductions for dividends and disallowing it for debt incurred buying and destroying rivals/stock buybacks.
