And the same regime is openly talking about the return of 12000 Iranian students and graduates from the U.S. as a result of #USCISpause - people who could face serious danger if forced back. #LiftTheHold

Iranians residing in the U.S. who can't return home safely must be protected—not forcibly removed. Trump’s war and Iran's already dire human rights crisis make it unsafe for Iranians abroad to go home. The Trump admin must shield Iranians in our communities and pause deportations

Two points: 1. The 46,547 OPT workers figure is a combined total over three years and is very small relative to the size of California. In fact, the number of individuals randomly selected through the Diversity Visa lottery and admitted to the U.S. in a single year is higher

Laura Loomer I’m sick of repeating this: a nation dying for freedom should not be judged by the ideology of its murderers. Secretary Rubio already got it right.

International students brought $43.8 BILLION into the U.S. economy in one year and supported 378,000+ American jobs. And here’s the part many miss: roughly 63% do not remain in the U.S. long term. We educate them, benefit from their spending, then many take their skills

At one of #Iran’s universities, the IRGC spread the American flag on the ground, but not a single student will step on it You Iranians are awesome🇮🇷❤️🇺🇸

SECRETARY RUBIO: Our desire is not to hurt the people of Iran. Frankly, we wish the voices of the people of Iran were heard as opposed to having 40,000 of them murdered in the streets, inside of hospitals, and executed on a routine basis. They are victims of that regime.

The Trump Admin has frozen USCIS processing for Iranian nationals, putting 12,000+ students at risk of losing legal status. Forcing them back to Iran now puts their lives at risk from regime repression and an active war. Ed Markey and I are demanding immediate action.

Iranians in the U.S. are overwhelmingly secular, highly educated, and anti-regime individuals who have already passed rigorous vetting. Yet #USCISpause is putting them under pressure for no reason other than where they were born—unable to work, plan, or move forward. A blanket

Sure. If a policy can discriminate based on the GPS coordinates of your birthplace, why not based on your skin color?
