“Obstruction” – DHS Spox Says Nashville Mayor, Who is Under Federal Investigation For ‘Aiding and Abetting’ Illegal Aliens, Doxxed ICE Agents (VIDEO)

Nashville’s far-left Mayor Freddie O’Connell is being accused of obstruction after he doxxed ICE agents.

Freddie O’Connell is under federal investigation for aiding and abetting illegal aliens.

“It looks like Mayor O’Connell was involved in some sort of obstruction, or the harboring of criminal illegal aliens in the great city of Nashville but also just last night his office put out the names of Homeland Security investigators and doxxed our ICE enforcement officers. They claimed it was a mistake – there’s zero chance it was a mistake and there will be repercussions,” DHS spox Tricia McLaughlin said on Newsmax.

“I hope [O’Connell] will face consequences,” she said.

Earlier this week GOP Congressman Andy Ogles (TN) confirmed the investigation and said he will be formally requesting all documents from the mayor’s office.

“If you’re helping violent gangs destroy Tennessee by obstructing ICE—you belong behind bars,” Rep. Ogles said.

With the support of the House Judiciary Committee, I will be formally requesting all documents and communications from the Mayor’s office related to:

– The amendment of Executive Order 30—an outrageous directive requiring Nashville employees and first responders to report all communication with federal immigration authorities directly to the Mayor.

– Any internal discussions or documents concerning ICE enforcement actions in Nashville or Davidson County.

– All correspondence involving Metro employees and affiliated NGOs regarding the arrest or detention of criminal illegal aliens within the city or county.

Cory Booker Turns Marathon Senate Speech Into Lucrative Book Deal — and Possible 2028 Launchpad

Cory Booker / The View

New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is cashing in on the publicity from his marathon speech with a book entitled Stand. 

This announcement follows Booker’s 25-hour speech in the Senate two months ago, which surpassed the record set by former Senator Strom Thurmond during his opposition to the 1957 Civil Rights Act.

In his book, Booker plans to revisit the key themes from that speech, highlighting what he sees as the harm caused by policies under the Trump administration.

“This book is about the virtues vital to our success as a nation and lessons we can draw from generations of Americans who fought for them,” Booker said in a statement.

“I don’t know how to solve this. I don’t know how to stop us from going down this road. … But I know who does have the power: the people of the United States of America. … Let’s get in good trouble.”

“Now is not the time to surrender to cynicism or abandon our most noble ideals,” he continued.

“Now is the time to defiantly declare like our ancestors before us: I too stand for America.”

The book describes itself as “an urgent call to renew our shared values and commit to endurance, courage and principled action.”

The deal will add further fuel to the speculation that Booker is gearing himself up for a run for the Democratic nomination in 2028.

Last month, Booker staged a sit-in on the Capitol steps alongside House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, although the stunt ended in failure when barely anyone showed up to participate.

Booker previously ran for the presidency in 2020, although failed to ever poll above single digits and suspended his campaign before the Iowa cacuses.

BREAKING: DNC Vice Chair David Hogg Caught on Undercover Video Slamming Pelosi’s “Too Well-Timed” Stock Trades, Wants to “Burn it All Down”

On Thursday Project Veritas released undercover video of DNC Vice Chair David Hogg slamming Nancy Pelosi’s “too well-timed” stock trades.

Pelosi is reportedly worth tens of millions of dollars (possibly hundreds of millions) after spending most of her adult life in Congress on a modest salary.

Hogg criticized members of Congress for their stock trades.

“I would say Pelosi’s actually very good at her job. I don’t agree with the stock trading stuff,” Hogg said in the undercover video.

“Some of these members of Congress make trades that are, like, way too well-timed to not have, like, insider knowledge.” Hogg said. “[Pelosi] gets better returns than almost every hedge fund in this city. Every year.”

Hogg said he would rather not publicly confront Pelosi on her corruption because it could jeopardize his gun control agenda.

“I know that if I pick that fight, it’s going to be harder for us to get gun control passed, so I have to pick my battles,” he said.

“How corrupt is the DNC if so many knew or few people knew about Biden?” a Project Veritas undercover reporter asked Hogg.

Hogg replied, “The bigger issue was like the inner circle that was around Biden… like Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff [Anthony Bernal] had an enormous amount of power.”

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealed shocking information Thursday morning that the FBI under James Comey had intentionally mishandled and hidden evidence from the American public in a secret room, and the contents would soon be known to the public.

During an appearance on Fox and Friends, Bongino shared his takeaways from his new job, detailed the decision to reopen multiple Biden-era investigations of ‘significant public interest,’ and responded to Comey’s post threatening to assassinate Trump. Towards the end of the interview, Bongino then broke news that could soon send Comey to prison.

While discussing the remaining Comey loyalists in the FBI building, Bongino announced that the FBI had discovered an ENTIRE ROOM was full of mishandled and hidden evidence from the Comey years.

He went on to say that the FBI is working to declassify the documents, and once that occurs, the public will be shocked at what they learn.

Victor Orbán Opens CPAC Budapest with US National Anthem: “Donald Trump has Won and is Restoring Hope to the World”

Matt Schlapp opens CPAC Budapest 2025

The fourth CPAC Budapest opened today with speeches by director Matt Schlapp, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, and the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Kobakhidze. US speakers include Rep. Abe Hamedeh, New York Young Republicans head Gavin Wax, Trump attorney John Eastman and YouTubers Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Dave Rubin, and Jack Posobiec.

International stars set to speak in the next two days include Dutch Freedom Party Leader Geert Wilders, German AfD party head Alice Weidel, former British PM Liz Truss, former Australian PM Tony Abbott, Slovak PM Robert Fico, the head of the Spanish Vox party Santiago Abascal, the head of the Austrian Freedom party Herbert Kickl, and Dutch influencer Eva Vlaardingeerbroek.

The event began with a prayer and the singing of the Hungarian and US national anthems.

In his opening speech, organizer Miklos Szantho praised President Donald Trump for “having Hungary’s back” and criticized the “globalists in Brussels” who want to cut Hungary’s funding. “We think the EU should stand for peace, and not for letting countries in that will cause war.” Szantho announced the dawn of an “Age of Patriots”, the motto of this year’s CPAC Budapest.

CPAC and Donald Trump had normalized an idea started by Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán, host Matt Schlapp of the American Conservative Union said: “That a country needs secure borders. Before Trump, we were told that was racist.”

After “four years of Joe Biden, two wars and a broken economy”, Schlapp had asked Trump why he wanted to run for President again. Trump was convinced “we won’t have a country” if he didn’t run again, Schlapp said.

After Trump’s victory, “there’s a new breeze blowing”, Schlapp told Orbán. “This time, that breeze is at our backs.” There is a new generation of conservative leaders now, including Argentine President Javier Milei and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, Schlapp said, who are subject to constant attacks, “and our job is to have their backs.”

Georgian PM Irakli Kobakhidze said that “Georgia has faced enormous pressure to turn our country into a battlefield again” since the start of the Ukraine war. But “Georgia will always stand for peace,” Kobakhidze said. What Americans call the “Deep State,” Georgians call the “Global War Agenda”. “I hope that President Trump will successfully weaken the Deep State,”  Kobakhidze said.

President Donald Trump sent a video message to CPAC Budapest.

“Last year, standing on this stage, I said that Donald Trump will win the US elections. Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán said. “Next year we have elections in Hungary. Any questions?” he joked to audience applause.

Conservatives routinely have to weather attacks that would send liberals running to hide in tears, Orbán said. Orbán praised Georgian PM Irakli Kobakhidze for creating the strongest economic growth in Europe, “with 20% of his country under the boot of the Russian bear,” praising Kobakhidze for not letting his country get dragged into the Ukraine war.

Orbán also praised  Slovak PM Robert Fico, for “taking 5 bullets, and still he’s here as if nothing happened.” Orbán lauded former Czech PM Andrej Babis for closing the borders of his country and hailed Polish PM Mateusz Morawiecki: “What Brussels is doing with the PiS party is unprecedented.”

Orbán greeted German AfD head Alice Weidel, saying, “it is good to see there are Germans who love their country more than Brussels.” If there were justice, Herbert Kickl would be Prime Minister of Austria now, Orbán told the Austrian Freedom Party leader whose party came in first in national elections in ‘October 2024 but was excluded from the ruling coalition. Orbán called Dutch Freedom Party head Geert Wilders “a Dutch hero who has to be protected by body guards and whose life is threatened. We are happy to have you here with us.”

“Donald Trump has won and is restoring hope to the world,” Orbán said, calling it “the best comeback in the history of the Western world. What a slap in the face for leftists: Not only did he win, but he is doing what he promised.” Trump has closed the borders, abolished the transgender agenda and left the Soros organization “naked”, Orbán said. “The Emperor is now naked. It is like a dream come true.”

The American dream had come true, Orbán said, “but what about the European dream?” The EU used to be an organization of sovereign nations, Orbán said. “European people do not feel safe in their streets anymore. This is organized population exchange. The Green Deal is killing our economies. And now that we have a heavyweight leader to negotiate tariffs with in the US, it turns out we only have featherweight leaders.”

Conservative leaders like Marine LePen and Matteo Salvini are being dragged into court and tried, Orbán said, while the AfD is being pursued in  Germany. Brussels is dragging Europe into war, and wants to centralized the EU and put the European economy on a war footing, Orbán said.

“This is the problem with Hungary: we are a free race. We don’t want central control and don’t want our money to be channeled into war. We want to give the people back freedom of thought and speech. We want a nation without fear. This is the Patriotic project. This war will have to be won at home and then in Brussels. We need to join forces for this united battle. Then we can start to re-occupy Brussels. For this we need the United States and the support of Donald Trump. The task is not complicated. We just need to win. And we will make Europe Great again.”

Common Signs of a Parasite Infection — and One Way To Treat It

(Note: Thank you for supporting businesses like the one presenting a sponsored message below and working with them through the links below which benefits Gateway Pundit. We appreciate your support!)

Are you suffering from abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, bloating and feeling more tired than usual? These could be the signs of a parasitic infection!

Parasitic infections can be dangerous, but also incredibly hard to diagnose:

Parasitic infections can be difficult to diagnose because they often cause nonspecific symptoms that can be attributed to a variety of other illnesses. In addition, many parasites are not easily detected by standard laboratory tests. As a result, diagnosis often relies on a combination of clinical suspicion and specialized testing.

Not only is a parasitic infection difficult to diagnose, it is possible to have an infection and not even present any recognizable symptoms:

There are many different types of parasitic diseases, and the symptoms can vary depending on the type of parasite involved. Some common symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and weight loss.

However, it is also possible to have an infection without any noticeable symptoms.

The truth is that the medical establishment is all but ignoring the threat of parasites, but this wasn’t always the case.

Before the healthcare bureaucracy’s myopic focus on COVID-19 and other potential pandemics, the Centers for the Disease Control issued a stunning warning about the threat of parasitic diseases here in the United States:

Most people think parasitic diseases occur in poor and developing countries, or are infections they might pick up on a trip to a foreign country. However, parasitic infections also occur in the United States, and in some cases affect millions of people. Often they can go unnoticed, with few symptoms. But many times the infections cause serious illnesses, including seizures, blindness, pregnancy complications, heart failure, and even death. Anyone—regardless of race or economic status—can become infected.

CDC has targeted five neglected parasitic infections (NPIs) in the United States as priorities for public health action based on the numbers of people infected, the severity of the illnesses, or our ability to prevent and treat them. These NPIs include Chagas disease, cysticercosis, toxocariasis, toxoplasmosis, and trichomoniasis.

The threat of parasites is just as high today, as it was just five years ago – the only difference is that our healthcare establishment has all but abandoned doing the necessary work of empowering Americans to take control of their health and preventing dangerous healthcare outcomes before they occur.

Fortunately, freedom-fighting doctors like Dr. Peter McCullough are now speaking up about the threats posed by parasites. In a new post on his widely-read SubStack, Dr. McCullough says:

While each illness has diagnostic strategies followed by care providers, many patients want to take a proactive stance with respect to parasites. The CDC says the burden of parasitic diseases among Americans is high.

Not only is Dr. McCullough sounding the alarm about the threat of parasites, McCullough is also offering Americans the ability to do something about this threat:

If you think you could be impacted, contact The Wellness Company for a review with one of our doctors and look for the combination parasite cleanse featuring combined ivermectin/mebendazole.

Ivermectin to the Rescue!

If you feel off, a parasite cleanse may help you regain your health. There is no better cleanse than pure lab-tested Ivermectin + Mebendazole, compounded into a single capsule by The Wellness Company.

No! Student Visas Were Not Revoked for No Reason

Claims circulating on social media and in certain mainstream media outlets suggest that numerous student visas were revoked arbitrarily and without cause. However, a closer inspection of the facts shows that these revocations were justified. According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the number of student visas revoked is in the thousands, and the actions were part of a targeted policy aimed at addressing national security concerns.

The visa cancellations were tied to specific behaviors and affiliations, particularly those involving support for entities deemed hostile or dangerous by the U.S. government, such as transnational terrorist or criminal organizations.

This policy initiative, known informally as “Catch and Revoke,” was implemented by the Trump administration in early 2025. The Department of State employed artificial intelligence tools to scan public social media posts for indicators of support for terrorist organizations, including Hamas and Hezbollah, or for activities that undermine U.S. national interests. According to U.S. officials, some revocations were based on cellphone content found during secondary screening procedures. In one case, a student had photos and videos expressing support for Hezbollah, which prompted immediate visa cancellation.

Secretary Rubio made it clear that student visas are intended strictly for academic purposes. He publicly stated that foreigners studying in the U.S. who engage in actions viewed as “destabilizing” should expect to lose their visa privileges. The administration emphasized that studying in the U.S. is a privilege, not a right, and that non-citizens must comply with the expectations tied to their visa status.

Contrary to claims that students were targeted for nothing more than political beliefs, multiple reports show that some visa revocations were linked to past legal violations. A Turkish student at the University of Minnesota was detained in March after his visa was canceled due to a previous drunk driving conviction. Other students reportedly lost their visas over infractions like speeding tickets. While these violations may seem insignificant, U.S. immigration law grants broad discretion to revoke visas for a wide range of conduct that may raise character concerns or suggest a failure to uphold U.S. legal norms.

The White House defended the visa revocations under a provision of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act, which gives the Secretary of State the authority to expel foreign nationals if their continued presence is believed to pose “potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences” for the United States. This legal justification has been on the books for decades and has been used across multiple administrations, though rarely on this scale.

Further clarifying the administration’s stance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio explained in a Department of State newsletter that Catch and Revoke is a “one-strike policy,” stating, “Whenever the government catches non-U.S. citizens breaking our laws, we will take action to revoke their status.”

He confirmed that the policy applies not only to students who have “supported terrorists or otherwise abused our hospitality,” but also to immigrants convicted of crimes such as domestic violence and assault. This hardline approach reflects the administration’s broader effort to reinforce both immigration integrity and national security.

The situation became especially politicized as many of the affected students were involved in pro-Hamas activism during a period of heightened campus unrest. Civil liberties groups argued that the visa revocations violated First Amendment protections and unfairly targeted students based on their political views.

However, legal experts noted that the U.S. Constitution does not grant non-citizens the same protections when it comes to visa eligibility, and the government maintains broad authority in matters of national interest and immigration. Moreover, many of the revocations were unrelated to campus protests and instead stemmed from legal infractions and other clearly justified causes.

In response to mounting legal pressure, the Department of Justice ultimately reversed the policy, reinstating the immigration records of many affected students. This retreat came amid concern that the mass revocations lacked sufficient due process and could not withstand judicial scrutiny.

Nevertheless, the episode demonstrates that the student visa revocations were not baseless. They were rooted in longstanding laws and enforcement powers that allow the government to revoke visas when non-citizens violate the terms of their stay or pose security risks. While the “Catch and Revoke” policy amplified these measures and sparked controversy, the legal grounds behind such revocations have existed for decades.

To characterize the situation as “student visas pulled for no reason” is factually incorrect. The revocations were based on intelligence, conduct, policy criteria, and in many cases, students simply breaking the law. As usual, the media either lied outright or twisted the truth so far it nearly broke.

Tucker Carlson’s Face Drops as Ron Johnson Reveals What Cured His Acid Reflux Disease

This article originally appeared on vigilantfox.com and was republished with permission.

Modern medicine wants you to believe heartburn comes from too much acid.

But after years of pharma pills, Senator Ron Johnson still found no relief.

Then he discovered something called hydrochloric acid, and once he started taking it, everything changed.

Senator Ron Johnson dropped the first of two bombshell personal health stories when Carlson asked why Americans keep getting sicker, even as healthcare costs continue to skyrocket.

That’s when Johnson opened up about his personal experience with statin drugs—and what happened after he stopped taking them.

He told Carlson that his severe dizzy spells vanished the moment he quit statins.

Tucker Carlson was astonished. “What?!” he exclaimed.

The dizzy spells weren’t the only thing that went away.

Senator Johnson explained that he’s had “a number of health conditions that just improved as a result” of stopping statins.

One possible way Johnson believes statin drugs may have harmed him is through his sudden loss of hearing. It’s difficult to prove, but he can’t help but wonder if the statins played a role.

Even more concerning, many doctors in the alternative health space are now suspecting that statin drugs could be associated with dementia.

Carlson responded to the claim, saying, “That’s really scary right there.”

Senator Johnson declared that the medical establishment would never admit statins cause dementia—even if it were true—because they’re the most commonly prescribed drugs in America, and there’s too much money at stake.

That’s a multi-billion dollar industry right there,” he said.

It all started when Carlson asked why Americans keep getting sicker, even as healthcare costs skyrocket.

Senator Johnson’s personal story about statins is not unique. Dissenting doctors have been warning about the dangers of statins for some time.

Medical researcher A Midwestern Doctor, a top Substack author, writes:

“There is a widespread belief that elevated cholesterol is the “cause” of cardiovascular disease. However, a large body of evidence shows that there is no association between the two and that lower cholesterol significantly INCREASES one’s risk of death.”

“Unfortunately, the benefits of these highly toxic drugs are MINISCULE (e.g., at best taking them for years extends your life by a few days) and the harms are VAST (statins are one of the most common pharmaceuticals that severely injure patients).”

Read more here.

After shocking Carlson with a bold story about statins, Senator Johnson hit him with another jaw-dropping tale about how he cured his acid reflux disease with hydrochloric acid after years on Zantac, Prilosec, and Nexium with no luck.

Tucker Carlson’s reaction said it all.

The medical industry wants you to believe heartburn is caused by too much acid.

Senator Johnson discovered the opposite—the real issue was too little.

After he started supplementing with betaine HCl, his reflux symptoms disappeared.

Johnson says it worked better than anything doctors ever gave him, even when he only remembers to take it about half the time before meals.

The work of Dr. Jonathan Wright explains exactly why Senator Johnson suddenly found relief.

He documented that hydrochloric acid plays a critical role not just in digestion, but in triggering the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to close.

Without enough acid, the LES stays loose, allowing stomach contents to leak into the esophagus and trigger reflux.

As Wright showed over two decades ago, supplementing with betaine HCl can often reverse acid reflux by restoring this natural closure mechanism.

Read more on that here.

Johnson’s experience mirrors what thousands have seen after restoring their stomach’s natural acid levels.

At the end of the day, hydrochloric acid is exactly what your stomach is designed to produce.

Sometimes the solution isn’t high-tech. It’s just common sense.

Thanks for reading. This conversation dives into everything they don’t want you talking about: 9/11, the defense budget, COVID, and more.

Cuba Now a Strategic Battleground for China Against the US

Chinese Spy Bases in Cuba
Source: CSIS

Long before President Donald Trump’s tenure, China saw the value of Cuba.

Commentary
Cuba has been impoverished by years of communist control, but it possesses a strategic vantage point that China prizes.

Ryan Berg, director of the Americas Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said in his congressional testimony on May 6 that Cuba is a “strategic battleground” with China. Twenty sensitive U.S. government facilities in Florida are in range of the expanding Chinese Cyber and Signals Intelligence Collection network in Cuba.

Even before the Russians minimized their presence in Cuba in 2002, the Chinese were eyeing the Caribbean country.

Berg said that in February 1999, then-Chinese Defense Minister Gen. Chi Haotian visited Cuba and met with his counterpart, then-Defense Minister Raúl Castro.

“According to an article in El Nuevo Herald, the two reportedly signed an agreement granting China access to a number of former Soviet listening stations across the island, including the Bejucal base less than 10 miles from the old Lourdes station,” he noted.

As part of the path toward resolving the Cuban Missile Crisis, President John F. Kennedy pledged publicly not to invade Cuba. The Soviets pledged to remove nuclear and “offensive” weapons from Cuba. The Soviets maintained a reduced presence in Cuba for the rest of the Cold War, including an intelligence collection station at Lourdes, outside of Havana, and occasional naval and air visits, while the United States maintained a robust overwatch of Cuba from bases in southern Florida.

Chinese Military and Intelligence Network Grows in Cuba

In the summer of 2023, Cuba leapt onto the front pages with the sudden, surprise news release about a Chinese spy presence in the country. After the media report, the initial response from the Pentagon was to deny the topic.

Then, The Associated Press reported there was an anonymous Biden administration official who confirmed that this started in 2019, which was a clever way of deflecting responsibility toward President Donald Trump.

Berg pointed out that then-National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby “reversed course and admitted to China’s spy bases in Cuba, but insisted that its presence had existed since 2019 under the first Trump administration, implying the Biden administration had ‘inherited’ the challenge.”

“Around the same time, reports surfaced that China was pursuing the construction of a military training base in Cuba,” he added.

Kirby had apparently missed the 1999 visit by Gen. Chi Haotian. In July 2024, The Wall Street Journal released additional imagery and reported that the Chinese military and intelligence footprint grew even larger than first reported.
The Chinese regime’s presence in Cuba is just one element of Chinese surveillance surrounding Florida. China has been operating gas and oil platforms that may have intelligence collection capabilities in the Gulf of America (previously known as the Gulf of Mexico) on the western side of Florida.
Gen. Glen VanHerck, former commander of U.S. Northern Command, pointed out, before the Chinese spy balloon episode, the danger of the Chinese infrastructure presence in the Bahamas, only 50 miles to the right of Florida.

Cuba Receives Promises of Chinese Support

Chinese leader Xi Jinping met with Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez in Moscow on May 9 during the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory in World War II.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said about the meeting, “China is ready to work with Cuba to further strengthen their ironclad friendship, build a closer China–Cuba community with a shared future, and set an example of solidarity and cooperation between socialist countries and sincere interaction between developing countries.”

In addition, the BRICS alliance—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—welcomed Cuba into the organization on Jan. 1, 2025, saying that the Caribbean country’s membership would allow it to become “a relevant player on the international stage.” Beijing dominates policy and plans for BRICS.
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has developed an alliance with Russia, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, and South Africa in its “no limits” strategy to take on the United States, and it appears Cuba is entering this grouping of communist and totalitarian countries.

CCP Lures Latin American Countries With Financial Offer

Following the U.S.–China tariff truce, China hosted a forum with the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) in Beijing on May 13. Left-leaning leaders in Latin America, such as Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Chilean President Gabriel Boric, and Colombian President Gustavo Petro, were in attendance.

The CCP used a Belt and Road Initiative power play and extended a credit line of $9.2 billion to the Latin American countries in attendance, with a very important caveat: The currency used in the line of credit would be the Chinese yuan.
The move, which excluded the global reserve currencies like the U.S. dollar, aimed to promote the yuan while China deepens its ties in the Americas. Of all the opportunities in the Americas, Cuba offers China the greatest return on investment. The short distance to the United States from Cuba allows the CCP a key intelligence observation point and a way to create a counterbalance of world support for Taiwan.
There may not yet be missiles in Cuba, or at least they haven’t been identified, but another Cuban crisis is developing. As a Foreign Affairs article said, “Trump Will Disrupt Three Decades of ‘Benign Neglect’ of American focus on the Americas, with Cuba likely being one of the starting points.

Rubio: U.S. Will ‘Aggressively Revoke’ Visas of Chinese Students

The United States will “aggressively revoke” the visas of Chinese students, including those with ties to the Chinese Communist Party, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Wednesday in a press statement.

The announcement marks just the latest move by the Trump administration against U.S. universities. Last week, the White House sought to bar international students from attending Harvard, but a federal judge halted implementation.

Rubio, in the statement, said the visa revocation would also apply to Chinese students in “critical fields,” likely referring to the physical sciences. In recent years, several American officials have said that Beijing recruits U.S.-trained scientists.

He added that the federal government would work “to enhance scrutiny of all future visa applications from the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong.” 

A State Department report published last year said that around 275,000 of the 1.1 million international students in American higher education hailed from China, second only to India, which had a record-high 331,602 students in U.S. colleges and universities.
