The Department of Homeland Security has obtained video footage of her using the CBP Home App to self-deport on March 11,” the release stated.
Secretary Noem justified action against her, stated that holding a US visa is a privilege that should be revoked when someone advocates for violence and terrorism in a separate social media post.
“It is a privilege to be granted a visa to live & study in the United States of America.
