US revokes visas of 5 Harvard students amid crackdown on Palestine voices
The U.S. government has revoked the visas of three Harvard University students and two graduates.
Harvard discovered the move during a routine records check and is providing legal help.
The students were not notified, preventing them from challenging the decision.
Officials cited a law allowing deportations for what they called “foreign policy risks,” but experts call it abuse.
Harvard did not reveal names but said similar cases are happening nationwide.
It also emphasized its support for international scholars, calling them vital for research and global dialogue.
The move follows a wave of student arrests by the U.S. government in March.
Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil and Tufts university student Rumeysa Ozturk were detained last month for their pro-Palestine activism.
Georgetown University graduate student Badar Khan Suri was held on similar charges.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has claimed that 300 visas have been revoked, vowing to target those opposing Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.
We must take charge of our narrative. Research indicates that 92% of their Muslim coverage is negative. Help us change that.
