Let's for a minute forget his past comments on Trump, that's politics. But the guy came to political prominence on the back of "his parents fleeing Castro Story." Now, the guy his allowing Trump and Netanyahu to use him and his office to persecute foreign students who opposed state sponsored genocide.
Worse yet, he's using Nazi and underhanded tactics such as kidnapping people off the streets and shipping them to jurisdictions were judges make ideological rather jurisprudence decisions. Horrible, nasty creature

This is despicable even by Trump's standards!
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday that at least 300 foreign students have had their visas revoked amid the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, a far higher number than was previously known.

“Maybe more, it might be more than 300 at this point,” Rubio said at a press conference in Guyana when asked to confirm Axios reporting on the topic.

“We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visa,” he added, saying he hopes it’s even more than the 300 estimate.

“I hope at some point we run out because we have gotten rid of all of them, but we’re looking every day for these lunatics that are tearing things up.”

Parents passed but who knows, perhaps they'd be MAGA to gain White or Castilian adjacency.
Note that when Rubio lied that they fled Castro's Cuba they never came out and said 'no, we left in 1956!'

Amazing, Rubio thinks if a person speaks out about the unjust mass killing of civilians that person is a lunatic.

Don't forget they also kicked out the South African Ambassador to the USA.
You would think this guy would have diplomatic immunity, but no.
He was made Persona Non Grata by the State Department/ Marco Rubio who accused him of being a race-baiting politician, because he said the MAGA movement was a response to a Supremacist instinct.
When a reporter asked him if he regretted what he said, his answer was:

Quote: "Absolutely not. I do not think I said anything that was not merited. “I would stand by my analysis because we were analyzing a political phenomenon, not a personality, not a nation, and not even a government.”If you see a piece of wood with a hinge, you are going to assume it is or came from a door".

You can send home Ambassadors or any diplomatic staff
Manley sent home racist US ambassador DeRoulet and Seaga's 1st act in 1980 was to kick out Cuba's Ullyses Estrada. That was to please Murca because Cuba's intelligence service "did some things" to counter CIA's anti Manley destabilization. But one would think that knowing RSA's recent history Trump/Rubio would think twice before sending home a good RSA minority origin Amb...but no
