YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this powerful moment from a recent House hearing, Rep. Pramila Jayapal presses Secretary of State Marco Rubio about the controversial revocation of a student visa belonging to Romea Öztürk, a Turkish graduate student at TUS University.
The student was detained by masked federal agents shortly after co-authoring an opinion article. Jayapal cites a federal court ruling and an internal State Department memo that found no evidence of national security concerns—raising serious questions about free speech, due process, and the appropriate use of immigration enforcement powers.
Rubio defends the visa revocation, claiming statutory authority, while Jayapal argues the decision undermines constitutional protections and sets a dangerous precedent. The exchange touches on First Amendment rights, immigration policy, and the line between security and suppression.
