US uses AI to revoke visas of students who support Hamas

(CLO) The US State Department will use artificial intelligence (AI) to identify and revoke the visas of foreign students accused of supporting Hamas.

The U.S. State Department is coordinating with the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security to implement the plan. While not commenting directly, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the U.S. has "zero tolerance for foreign visitors who support terrorism" and affirmed that anyone who violates the law – including international students – will be deported.

Fox News reported that a student had their visa revoked for participating in "sabotage activities in support of Hamas," marking the first action in this campaign.

The AI-based initiative will analyze the social media accounts of tens of thousands of people with student visas. The U.S. government is also reviewing news reports about anti-Israel protests and lawsuits filed by Jewish students to identify individuals engaging in anti-Semitic behavior.

Earlier in January, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to combat anti-Semitism and pledged to deport foreign students if they participated in pro-Palestinian protests. He also announced he would cut federal funding to universities that allowed illegal demonstrations.

Hamas has been designated a "foreign terrorist organization" by the United States. On October 7, 2023, the group attacked Israel, killing 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages, according to Israeli figures. In response, Israel launched a military operation in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of more than 48,000 Palestinians. Israel denies accusations of genocide and war crimes.
