Well, let's see. If anyone is surprised by the Trump administration's pending actions on this front, they really shouldn't be. Trump talked about this sort of thing openly on the campaign trail.  The woman who will be the federal government's top law enforcement official has endorsed it:


America's top diplomat has endorsed it:


It's hard to quibble with that logic. Why on earth should open terrorism supporters, especially those who've violated university rules or broken laws, continue to enjoy the immense privilege of being in the United States? According to reports, per upcoming action from the new administration, that privilege will quite rightly be in jeopardy:

President Trump is expected to sign an executive order...instructing all federal agencies to identify civil and criminal authorities available to combat antisemitism — including finding ways to deport anti-Jewish activists who violated laws, The Post has learned.  The order requires agency and department leaders to provide the White House with recommendations within 60 days and outlines plans for the Justice Department to investigate pro-Hamas graffiti and intimidation, including on college campuses , according to a document describing the order. The executive order calls for the deportation of resident aliens — including students with visas — who broke laws as part of anti-Israel protests following the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attacks in Israel, which sparked the invasion of Gaza, the document reviewed by The Post says.

We'll see how this 60-day review period goes, but there are surely quite a few candidates for visa revocation, given the disgraceful scenes across many campuses over the last year-and-a-half.  What we know for certain is that there will be at least some bipartisan support for this initiative.  Here's a Democratic New York congressman and rumored gubernatorial aspirant:

I don't expect they'll be terribly successful in persuading many Americans. As an ongoing reminder, these are some of the very worst people society has to offer:
