State Department to deploy AI-powered ‘catch and revoke’ tools against Hamas sympathizers: report
New York Post ^ | March 6, 2025 | Ryan King

The State Department is reportedly embarking on an artificial intelligence-powered initiative to spot foreigners in the US who are sympathetic to Hamas or other terror organizations and revoke their visas.

Using AI tools, officials intend to pore through the social media accounts of foreign student visas and assess whether there’s evidence of sympathies toward Hamas in the wake of the Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack, Axios reported.

That effort, dubbed “Catch and Revoke,” will reportedly encompass a review of news articles to spot names of foreign nationals who engaged in anti-semitic activity.

“Those who support designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas, threaten our national security. The United States has zero tolerance for foreign visitors who support terrorists,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared Thursday.

“Violators of US law — including international students — face visa denial or revocation, and deportation.”

Authorities will also comb government databases to see whether the Biden administration permitted any visa holders who were arrested to remain within the country, per the report.

The revelation comes after President Trump declared earlier this week that all federal funds will cease for institutions of higher education that permit “illegal protests.”

“Agitators will be imprisoned/ or permanently sent back to the country from which they came,” he added on Truth Social. “American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested.”

I thought “revoke” meant “your life.”

Do these reporters even proof read articles anymore?

Put them on a plane that leaves for Islamabad but, sadly, arrives empty.
