Rubio cited a provision in the Immigration and Nationality Act that authorizes the nation's top diplomat to of foreign national students on the grounds that their presence or activities have "potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences" for the U.S. The federal government is not required to lay out proof beyond that explanation, legal experts told CBS News .

Several high-profile cases are related to students who led or participated in pro-Palestinian activities.

In 1987 , it was used in a case involving eight people who either held valid student visas or were lawful permanent residents for their pro-Palestinian activism.

In the 1990s , the government tried to deport a former Mexican official who was in the U.S. on a visa and faced charges in his home country.

Attorneys in recent cases have accused the Trump administration of using immigration enforcement to suppress speech it disagrees with.
