00:00The Trump administration is expected to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, have to dust
00:08that off.
00:09A lot of people not familiar with it.
00:10Can you help us understand how the Trump administration plans to use these powers?
00:16That's a question for DHS.
00:17It's not a question for us.
00:19What I can tell you is, from our perspective unrelated to that, is that we will continue
00:24to look for people that we would never have allowed into this country on student visas
00:28had we known they were going to do what they've done.
00:30But now that they've done it, we're going to get rid of them.
00:32And we are continuing to look for that.
00:34And so in the days to come, you should expect more visas will be revoked as we identify
00:38people that we should never have allowed in, because they lied to us.
00:42When they said they were coming here to be students, they didn't say they were coming
00:44here to occupy university buildings and vandalize them and tear them apart and hold campuses
00:51hostage.
00:52If they had told us that, we would never have given them a student visa.
00:55Now that they've done it, we will revoke those visas.
00:57And as the days go on, every time we have a chance to revoke them, we will because it's
01:00not in the national interest of the United States for them to be here.
