US Govt Revokes 6,000 Student Visas — State Department.
The US State Department says it has revoked more than 6,000 student visas since Secretary of State Marco Rubio assumed office seven months ago.
According to officials, the majority of the cancellations were linked to legal violations such as assault, DUI, burglary, overstays, and alleged support for terrorism. About 4,000 of the cases were specifically tied to breaches of US law.
The department did not disclose the nationalities of those affected, but Rubio has repeatedly signaled a tougher stance on students from China. He has also targeted student activists critical of Israel, accusing them of anti-Semitism, a charge they reject.
Rubio previously told reporters that he was revoking visas “daily,” vowing to act against what he described as “lunatics” opposed to US foreign policy interests The administration has faced pushback in some cases.
A judge ordered the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a permanent US resident who led pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, and Turkish graduate student Rumeysa Ozturk, detained after publishing a piece critical of Israel, was also freed by court order.
Rubio maintains that the government has the authority to revoke visas without judicial oversight, insisting that foreign nationals are not entitled to US constitutional protections such as free speech.
The governor further disclosed a $100 million offtake deal with the Saudi Export and Import Bank for livestock exports to the Middle East, noting that every part of the animal from meat to skin, hooves, and blood would be harnessed for value.
He added that the project will be supported by LNG-powered cold-chain trucks from Lagos, modernizing meat distribution and storage across the country.
The policy is expected to enhance meat quality, create jobs in Niger’s processing sector, and contribute to Nigeria’s push to diversify its economy away from oil. Bago also urged banks and investors to back such initiatives, warning that continued export of raw commodities would keep the country “perpetually broke.”
