https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/us/politics/china-student-visas-revoke.htmlU.S. Will Aggressively Revoke Visas of Chinese Students, Rubio Says
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the students who will have their visas canceled include people with ties to the Chinese Communist Party and those studying in critical fields.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Wednesday evening that the Trump administration would work to aggressively revoke visas of Chinese students, including those with ties to the Chinese Communist Party or who are studying in critical fields.
He added that the State Department was revising visa criteria to enhance scrutiny of all future applications from China, including Hong Kong.
The move was certain to send ripples of anxiety across university campuses in the United States and was likely to lead to reprisal from China, the country of origin for the second-largest group of international students in the United States.
Mr. Rubios brief statement announcing the visa crackdown did not define critical fields of study, but the phrase most likely refers to research in the physical sciences. In recent years, American officials have expressed concerns about the Chinese government recruiting U.S.-trained scientists, though there is no evidence of such scientists working for China in large numbers.

As they are actually U.S. citizens, typically from early toddlerhood, when will these fools decide to oppress them as well?
