NATO-Treffen in Brüssel: Die Tragik des Marco Rubio

US-Außenminister Rubio nimmt heute erstmals an einem Treffen mit seinen NATO-Amtskollegen teil. Hoffnungen in ihn haben sich bisher kaum erfüllt. Auch nach Brüssel wird Rubio vor allem Trump-Forderungen mitbringen. Von Ralf Borchard.

As Trump's allies start turning on his DEF Sec, Jennifer Rubin explains how Pete Hegseth's tenure will get much worse—& why it'll become untenable for Trump & the GOP.

Trump’s top advisors discussed war plans in an insecure chat, a scandal that continues to shake the admin. This comes as a poll finds that 74% of Americans see the leak as a serious problem, incl 60% of Rs.

"The Times of India got the email that was sent to hundreds of foreign students, stripping them of visas for pro-Palestinian social media posts or advocacy.

Chillingly, the Trump admin threatens to deport students to places like El Salvador if they don’t leave immediately.

None got any warning that they were being targeted, or have even been told which specific SM posts or acts led to this."

"Someone should tell Marco Rubio, DHS Secty Kristi Noem and Border czar Tom Homan that Trump's pardons will only protect them from being prosecuted in the US for federal crimes. It won't stop then from being prosecuted for crimes against humanity. And that is where they are heading."

"The US state department is undertaking a widespread visa-review process, revoking hundreds of visas and placing hundreds more under scrutiny, targeting mostly foreign nationals engaged in pro-Palestine activism, according to official statements.

"The US state department is undertaking a widespread visa-review process, revoking hundreds of visas and placing hundreds more under scrutiny, targeting mostly foreign nationals engaged in pro-Palestine activism, according to official statements.

The secretary of state, Marco Rubio, confirmed the scale of the crackdown, announcing that he has canceled visas for more than 300 people he called “lunatics” connected to campus pro-Palestine protests in the US, with promises of action to continue daily.

Asked by reporters during a visit to Guyana in South America to confirm reports of 300 visas stripped, Rubio said: 'Maybe more than 300 at this point. We do it every day, every time I find one of these lunatics.'"

#ICE #RumeysaOzturk #FreeSpeech #Rubio

"Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at a news conference Thursday Ozturk’s visa was revoked, implying the revocation was because of her pro-Palestinian advocacy: 'We gave you a visa to come study and get a degree, not to become a social activist that tears up our university campuses,' Rubio said, though he did not share evidence supporting the idea Ozturk was disruptive.

(. . .)

Ozturk was one of four students listed as a co-author of an op-ed in the student-run Tufts Daily newspaper published last year urging the university to 'acknowledge the Palestinian genocide' and 'divest from companies with direct or indirect ties to Israel,' though it’s unclear whether this is related to her arrest.'"

Asked if the info shared in the #Signal chat was classified, #Rubio said, "Well, the #Pentagon says it was not. And not only did they said it was not, they made very clear that it didn’t put in danger anyone’s life or the mission. There was no intelligence information. And understand, when this story first broke, they were sort of alluding to, were there war maps? ... There were no war plans on there."

#Rubio said he contributed 2X — 1st when he identified his chief of staff as his point of contact & 2nd when he congratulated the team after the attack on the #Houthis.

"I’ve been assured by the #Pentagon & everyone involved that none of the information that was on there — though not intended to be divulged. Obviously, that was a mistake & that shouldn’t have happened. But that none of the information on there at any point threatened the operation or the lives of our servicemen.“

Das formuliert der SPIEGEL treffend: "Der Skandal wird weggepöbelt".
Das Signal-Gate zeigt nicht nur die erschütternde Inkompetenz von #Vance, #Rubio, #Hegseth und #Walz, sondern auch die Unverfrorenheit mit der das heruntergespielt wird, eine Anhörung im Kongress zur Farce wird, weil die Befragten einerseits behaupteten, sie könnten zu den Inhalten da klassifiziert nichts sagen, dann wieder dass keine geheimen Inhalte ausgetauscht wurden. Von den Pöbeleien Darth #Trumps ganz zu schweigen.

American Association of University Professors [#AAUP] v. #Rubio

A case challenging the #Trump administration’s policy of ideological deportation.

"On March 25, 2025, the Knight Institute filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s policy of arresting, detaining, and deporting noncitizen students and faculty who participate in pro-Palestinian activism. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), AAUP’s #Harvard, #NYU, and #Rutgers campus chapters, and the #MiddleEastStudies Association, argues that the policy chills noncitizens from speaking and, by extension, robs these organizations and their U.S. citizen members of noncitizens’ perspectives on a matter of significant public debate.

"The lawsuit responds to a climate of repression and fear on university campuses. Federal agencies are attempting to deport multiple individuals for their #ProPalestinian advocacy, including #MahmoudKhalil, a leader of protests at Columbia University. These actions have sent chills through the community of noncitizen students and faculty on campuses around the country, causing some to pull out of academic conferences, stay home from #protests, and withdraw from other forms of public advocacy and engagement.

"The lawsuit alleges that the administration’s policy of ideological deportation violates the First Amendment right of the plaintiffs to hear from and associate with noncitizen students and faculty, that it is unconstitutionally vague, and that it violates the Administrative Procedure Act. The suit seeks a court order declaring that the policy is unlawful and enjoining the federal government from enforcing it."

Status: Complaint filed on March 25, 2025.

Case Information: American Association of University Professors v. Rubio, No. 1:25-cv-10685 (D.Mass).
