Rubio made a very vague statement:

Alleging that she was part of a larger group that committed crimes... but if that's the case, why didn't they arrest anyone else who was there?
- omnimus 2y agoThe crime is writing the op-ed. The group are the editors and other writers. They cannot be arrested - they dont have VISAs because they are US citizens.
- ranger_danger 2y agoI was referring to her being at the site of a protest. Why weren't any other protesters arrested? You don't need a visa to be arrested.
- omnimus 2y agoBecause you cannot arrest US citizen just because they are at some gathering. You cant do that to someone on VISA. What you can do is take someones VISA on basis of small gathering that you call protest.
- ranger_danger 2y ago> Rubio suggested without evidence she was involved in disruptive student protests I wasn't trying to imply she was merely there, as Rubio is saying they participated. They never said the op-ed was related... so my question is, if the only reasoning is taking part in the protest, then why arrest nobody else who was there?
- omnimus 2y agoMaybe Rubio is not the most trustful source... i mean i said it before. They probably can't really get to US citizens. But they can take away peoples VISA on a whim. The reason is to send a message.
