RUBIO: She was a guest in the United States on a student visa. No one is entitled to a student visa. We deny visas every day, and we will revoke and consider revoking visas.
JAYAPAL: You revoked her student visa based on an op-ed, which trumps the supreme law of the land, which is the Constitution.
RUBIO: If someone is coming here to stir up problems on our campuses, we're going to revoke their visa.
JAYAPAL: She didn't do any of that. She wrote an op-ed. She wrote an op-ed, and I'm talking to you about her particular case.
RUBIO: That's her lawyer's claims and your claims. Those are not the facts.
JAYAPAL: Reclaiming my time. You revoked her student visa because she wrote an op-ed.
RUBIO: Yes, proudly. //
The woman Jayapal keeps bringing up is Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish citizen who has already graduated from the University of Massachusetts (yeah, that checks out). She wrote an op-ed claiming Israel was committing "genocide" in Gaza and demanded divestment from the American ally, providing support for Hamas.
