Published April 23, 2024 5:20pm ET



Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has called for foreign students with visas partaking in antisemitic protests to be deported, arguing they have “no right to be here.”

Cotton’s demand comes after Columbia University announced that it would move to a hybrid class model through the end of the semester due to a myriad of tense pro-Palestinian protests on campus. The Arkansas senator suggested that Columbia and other school presidents dealing with these types of protests ought to contact New York police to arrest those harassing the Jewish students on campus.
