No the government can't just revoke a visa because Trump doesn't like your face, the reasons must be based in law and there is the pesky thing called due process that needs to be followed. I am honestly flabbergasted that people think the government can just do willy billy.

- herewulf 6mo agoWhile this may be good practical advice, it's the principle that matters. The Administration is testing how far it can go and today it's non-citizens, tomorrow it's citizens. In fact citizens' rights have already been violated, for example, with numerous reports of Native Americans getting picked up by ICE. DHS goons drunk on power don't care about racial profiling. They have quotas to fill! So, next you'll say: "Should have known better than to look Mexican in front of that Home Depot.." "Should have known better to look Mexican out on the street.." Do you see where this leads?
- Glemllksdf 6mo agoI have the feeling that this is simplifying something. I do agree that if someone would come to my country on a visa for studing, I don't think its okay for them to protest stuff. It feels disrespectful even if i'm aligned with that persons politics. On the other hand, i expect us all to have a acertain amount of personal freedom on our planet and protesting itself is part of this, same as free speech. In this context of the USA: USA is a country grifted by us europeans. It has land, resources etc. Just because USA now fully formed, somehow I do have the feeling that I should be allowed to also become a USA citizien (not for the social system, USA is fucked) but for the reason of also benefiting from that land (great nature, lots of space, etc.).

- ap99 6mo agoYes, a visa can be revoked just that easily. It's a guest pass. When getting a visa you're basically asked to agree to America's terms of service. Violations can be found pretty easily in the fine print if someone is really looking. From there it's the same administrative work to revoke and deport as it is to say ban someone from Twitch for saying the wrong thing.
- laughing_man 6mo agoThey can revoke your visa for supporting terrorist organizations. And they make the list of terrorist organizations, so...
- ap99 6mo agoAnd you have a problem with that? Why?
- laughing_man 6mo agoBecause adding an organization to that list is (effectively) entirely at the whim of the current administration. They could add your Scrabble club if they wanted to.
