A Facebook post from the U.S. Embassy in Sweden, saying: "When you apply to enter the United States and you get a visa, you are a guest. Now, if you are in this country to promote Hamas, to promote terrorist organizations, to participate in vandalism, to participate in acts of rebellion and riots on campus, we never would have let you in if we had known that. You lied to us. You're out. ▪️ När du får ett visum för inresa till USA, betyder det att du kommer till vårt land som en gäst. Hade vi vetat att din avsikt under din vistelse var att delta i aktiviteter som främjar Hamas eller andra terroristgrupper, eller att delta i upplopp och vandalism på ett amerikanskt universitet så hade vi aldrig släppt in dig i vårt land. Om du ljög för oss så åker du ut."
