Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., urged the Biden administration to deport foreign nationals who have expressed support for Hamas.
Cotton, in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, wrote: "The appalling explosion of antisemitism in the United States over the past few weeks should disturb anyone who shares American values. While American citizens may have a First Amendment right to speak disgusting vitriol if they so choose, no foreign national has a right to advocate for terrorism in the United States.
"Federal law is clear that any alien who 'endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization' is inadmissible and must be deported. On Sunday, just a day before he sent the letter to Mayorkas, Cotton had slammed former Treasury Secretary Jack Lew, who has been nominated as the U.S. ambassador to Israel, as an "Iran sympathizer" who should not hold the post and said the Senate should not expedite his nomination, let alone confirm him for the post.
