Foreign Minister Marco Rubio She clashed with the CBS Margaret Brennan host on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs's order to cancel the green card of the former Columbia University student, Mahmoud Khalil.
Khalil, a Palestinian who grew up in Syria and a permanent resident in the United States, was Arrested By immigration officials earlier this month to lead activities “in line with Hamas, which is a dedicated terrorist organization,” according to the Ministry of Internal Security.
In the movie “Face The Nation” on Sunday, Brennan was martyred with an editorial in Wall Street Journal to capture the Khalil Al -Khadra card. Rubio asked whether he had evidence that Khalil had supported terrorism or if Khalil had simply adopted a “controversial political view.”
Rubio defended the actions of the administration, saying that anyone entering the United States with a visa is a “guest” and will be deported if he supports “Pro-hamas” activities, which contradict the interests of foreign policy of the United States.

“It is simply.”
“If you have told us that you are going to do it, we will never give you the visa. You are now here. You are now doing it. You lied to us.
“But is there any evidence of terrorism?” Brennan pressure. “Or is it just his point of view?”
Rubio asked the news broadcaster whether she was familiar with the Hamas camps that seized the campus after the Hamas terrorist attacks on October 7 on Israel.
“Yes, they take over – you must see the news,” Rubio replied. “These men control the entire buildings.”

“We covered it extensively,” Brennan returned when the two spoke to each other. She explained that she was speaking specifically for evidence in the Khalil case.
Rubio said Khalil was a “negotiator” for the demonstrators who seized the campus of Colombia and the thrombus buildings.
“This is a crime in itself,” Brennan said. “We do not want it. We do not need these people in our country. We shouldn't have allowed them to enter, in the first place.”
Rubio reiterated that those who entered the country in visas with the intention of disrupting university campus activities, filling buildings and strengthening terrorist organizations should not be allowed to enter and will be deported.
He also called “hypocrisy” for those who defend these demonstrators Freedom of expression rights.
He added: “I find that it is irony that many of these people there are defending the first amendment, and the rights of the alleged freedom of expression of these sympathizers with Hamas – they have not faced a problem, well, pressing social media to control American political discourse. So I think it is paradoxes and hypocrites.”

Rubio said that the administration was also deporting members of the violent Venezuelan gang Arajwa trainRecognized by the Trump administration as a terrorist organization.

“We do not want terrorists in America. I do not know how difficult it is to understand,” Brennan said.
“We do not want people in our country who commit crimes and undermine our national security or public safety. It is simply,” he continued. “Especially the people here as guests. This is what the visa is. I don't know where we got to our head that the visa is a type of birth. It is not. It is a visitor in our country. If the conditions for your visit are violated, you will leave.”
