Thanks to Marco Rubio, AI Is About to Become These Pro-Hamas Supporters’ Worst Nightmare
The Trump governance has initiated a program leveraging artificial intelligence to find and deport foreign nationals participating in pro-Hamas protests on college campuses. Following violent protests last year, the State Department, under Secretary Marco Rubio, is implementing the “catch and Revoke” effort which scans visa holders’ social media posts for signs of support for Hamas or anti-Semitism. This approach is rooted in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which allows for the removal of individuals considered a threat. the new policy focuses on ensuring national security and has already led to the revocation of the first visa linked to individuals involved in anti-semitic protests. the administration claims that under previous leadership, there was a lack of enforcement regarding visa revocations.The collaboration between the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security aims to reinforce these efforts as protests continue on campuses.
The Trump administration is using technology to find and deport foreign nationals who use college campuses as the backdrop for pro-Hamas protests.
Last year, dozens of colleges suffered through occupations and protests in support of Hamas, some of which included violence toward Jewish students and police. This year, protests have again taken place.
But this year, the State Department is using artificial intelligence to identify protesters and cancel the visas of protesters who support anti-Semitism, according to Axios.
The report said, Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s “Catch and Revoke” effort scans the social media accounts of visa holders to look for support for Hamas or other terrorist organizations.
The Immigration Nationality Act of 1952 gives Rubio the authority to remove foreign nationals who are a threat.
“Under President Trump, the Immigration Nationality Act is great again,” one State Department official Axios did not name said.
The AI-enabled search will also look for visa holders arrested during the Biden administration but allowed to stay in the country anyhow.
“We found literally zero visa revocations during the Biden administration, which suggests a blind eye attitude toward law enforcement ” the State Department official said.
💥BOOM. Secretary of State Marco Rubio just launched an AI-powered “Catch and Revoke” program to hunt down and CANCEL visas of foreign nationals who openly support terrorist organizations.

The official said, the review is necessary because “it would be negligent for the department that takes national security seriously to ignore publicly available information about [visa] applicants in terms of AI tools. … AI is one of the resources available to the government that’s very different from where we were technologically decades ago.”
Axios said, the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security are collaborating on the effort.
The hunt for Hamas sympathizers who should be targeted has already produced results, according to Fox News.
“Yesterday evening, we revoked the first visa of an alien who was previously cited for criminal behavior in connection with Hamas-supporting disruptions,” the State Department said. “This individual was a university student. ICE will proceed with removing this person from the country.”

In January, Trump warned protesters what was coming in a fact sheet release by the White House as part of Trump’s executive order to fight anti-Semitism.
“To all the resident aliens who joined in the pro-jihadist protests, we put you on notice: come 2025, we will find you, and we will deport you,” Trump said then.
“I will also quickly cancel the student visas of all Hamas sympathizers on college campuses, which have been infested with radicalism like never before.”
