Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is demanding that the Department of Homeland Security deport any foreign nationals who have voiced support for Hamas' terrorist attacks on Israel.
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is calling on the Department of Homeland Security to deport foreign nationals, including people in the U.S. on student visas, who have expressed support for Hamas' terrorist attacks on Israel. In a letter sent to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Monday, Cotton demanded the department take immediate action to remove the foreign nationals, who the GOP lawmaker says have 'no place' in the U.S.
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,' he continued.
The statement by the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups was later deleted after student organizations began removing their signatures amid bipartisan backlash and some CEOs demanded the names of the students who signed it.
Many other pro-Palestinian student groups at institutions across the U.S. still have their statements posted online and continue to participate in protests celebrating Hamas' attack. 'The appalling explosion of anti-Semitism in the United States over the past few weeks should disturb anyone who shares American values,' Cotton wrote.
