WASHINGTON, Jan 29 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trumpsigned an executive order on Wednesday to combat antisemitism and pledged to deport non-citizen college students and others who took part in pro-Palestinian protests. A fact sheet on the order promises "immediate action" by the Justice Department to prosecute "terroristic threats, arson, vandalism and violence against American Jews" and marshal all federal resources to combat what it called "the explosion of antisemitism on our campuses and streets" since the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel by Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.

Back to Crapistan , losers. I don’t know but I would imagine that the power to grant and revoke visas is plenary with the State Dept.

pledged to deport non-citizen college students and others who took part in pro-Palestinian protests.

I don't think that's accurate (see Tagline). I think we're going to deport anti-Jew non-citizen students who committed crimes.

Protesting is not a crime, at least not under this administration.

I am dizzy with euphoria at finally having a president who will put the kibosh on all this vicious anti-semitism. Like, swooning with relief. After that savage October attack, I don’t know why the world hasn’t bombed the Palestinians out of existence.

“ I don’t know why the world hasn’t bombed the Palestinians out of existence.”

Because Biden put his head in the sand!

"Protesting is not a crime, at least not under this administration."

You're right, protesting is not a crime. However these foreigners seized public property, harassed students and made an outright nuisance of themselves and the federal government has every right to revoke their visas and send them home without any court action. They are going to lose their ticket to ride. All foreigners are guests, not citizens, and they have absolutely no right to be here if we don't want them.

I don’t believe a crime is required to send a non-citizen back to their home country.

Visas are conditional. Different visas have different conditions. I don’t know the specifics, but I do know visa holder’s are not granted the same rights as citizens are.
