Dominique reacts to President Trump's executive order ensures that visa holders, including student visa holders, are vetted and punished for holding hostile attitudes toward U.S. citizens, the U.S. government, and institutions (including American universities). Additionally, visa holders who support designated terrorists that undermine U.S. security will be found in violation of their visa requirements and could be deported.
