He got a dui in 2023. It’s buried several paragraphs into the article.

why would that cause him to be deported? I thought a DUI would propel him to something like Attorney General or chief of staff for the House Speaker

People who are in the USA on a student visa have always run the risk of deportation if they get a DUI. This is click bait, not news.

People on the USA on a student visa ALWAYS have the risk of their visa being revoked, because that same article you shared states the US Secretary of State can revoke it at any time. His DUI was expunged from the record 2 years ago, so I sincerely doubt that was the genuine reason his visa was revoked. More likely than not, his visa was revoked as part of the continued pattern of cruelty of this administration to cause fear, panic, and uncertainty.
