Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.
UPDATE — Secretary of State Marco Rubio has now commented on the Trump admin’s detaining & attempted green card revocation of a Columbia Gaza encampment student negotiator:
“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”
“We will be revoking the visas and/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.”
NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment.
Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too.
His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

The Trump voters who are experiencing layoffs and higher prices under his administration have a scapegoat— Elon Musk.
Now we tie Elon to Trump. Link them together. Don’t let one get away from the other. DOGE is Trump. Elon is Trump. Layoffs are Trump. Grocery prices are Trump. It’s all Trump.

"The American antisemitism now merges with the Russian antisemitism and reinforces it. The idea that Zelens'kyi is not a real president, and that his government is therefore not a real government, has been a very specific Russian antisemitic trope from the beginning."

The Trump administration has launched an FBI investigation into a $20 billion grant program for clean energy projects established under the Biden administration. These funds, managed by the EPA, were intended to support climate initiatives, particularly in low-income communities.

It's open season for corporate crooks.
