Secretary of State Marco Rubio stood by the arrest of a Turkish graduate student over what the Trump administration described as "pro Hamas" views, saying the decision to revoke her visa was justified.

"We revoked her visa. Once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States. If you come into the U.S. as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country," Rubio said in a press conference on Thursday, referring to the case of Rumeysa Ozturk, arrested on the street by ICE agents in plain clothes.
