President Donald Trump signed an order in January that stated, “ … the United States must ensure that admitted aliens and aliens otherwise already present in the United States do not bear hostile attitudes toward its citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security.”

Now, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel joined a group of liberal state-based attorneys general who have filed a lawsuit trying to stop what is being called Donald Trump’s “Ideological Deportation Policy.” Nessel announced she joined the lawsuit on Oct. 20.

On Oct. 14, the Department of State posted screenshots of social media comments made by foreign nationals on visa attacking Kirk after he was assassinated.

The State Department said, “An Argentine national said that Kirk ‘devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric’ and deserves to burn in hell. Visa revoked.”

In addition, the State Department said: “A South African national mocked Americans grieving the loss of Kirk, saying ‘they’re hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom’ and alleging ‘he was used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash.’ Visa revoked.”

It added, “The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans. The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk,” the State Department said.

“Taking away student visas because of someone’s political opinions is an embarrassing and unconstitutional stance for this administration to take,” Nessel said in a press release. “Michigan is home to dozens of incredible colleges and universities that attract students and faculty from across the world. Actions like this don’t just silence debate on campus – they threaten everyone’s First Amendment rights by discouraging open discussion and the exchange of ideas.”
