Trump will cancel visas from students who sympathize with hamas

The government of US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday a new decree to combat anti-Semitism in the country. The measure includes the cancellation of visas of foreign university students who demonstrated support to the Hamas terrorist group during pro-palestinian protests. In addition, the republican government promised to deport immigrants who participated in these demonstrations in university campuses.

The decision was released by a high White House employee to the agency Reuters and reinforced by an official statement.

“To all resident foreigners who joined the pro-jihadist protests, we put them in warning: by 2025 we will find them and deport them,” Trump said. “I will also quickly cancel the visas of student of all Hamas supporters on university campuses, who have been infested with radicalism like never before.”

The decree also guides the Justice Department to intensify actions against hate crimes and threats against Jews in the United States. According to the text, the US government will “aggressively process terrorist threats, criminal fires, vandalism, and violence against American Jews.”

The announcement occurs after a climb of tensions at US universities last year, where several pro-Palestinian protests occurred and continue to occur. Some of these acts featured participants using Hamas linked symbology, such as masks, hats, shirts and flags, and making anti -Semitic speeches.

In addition to repression of radicals in university campuses, Trump should also sign a decree focused on basic education, focusing on freedom of school choice. According to White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt, the measure aims to cut public school financing that teach progressive theories.

The document reports that the Education Department will be in charge of providing guidelines for states to use federal funds to expand school scholarship programs in elementary and high school.
