Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!
Amy Goodman

Trump Administration to “Aggressively” Revoke Visas of Chinese Students

HeadlineMay 29, 2025

Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned the government will start “aggressively” revoking the visas of Chinese students, one day after the Trump administration announced it’s halting the processing of visas for foreign students. Rubio said people with links to the Chinese Communist Party — China’s sole and ruling party — would be especially targeted, as well as people studying in “critical fields.” Chinese nationals represent the second-largest proportion of overseas students in the U.S.

Meanwhile, Trump told reporters Wednesday Harvard should cap its acceptance of international students at “around 15 percent.” Last week, Trump revoked Harvard’s certification for admitting students from overseas.
