Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, a Republican, is asking President Biden to rescind visas for foreign nationals who defend or support Hamas amid the terror group's largest attack on Israel in decades.

More than 3,200 people have been killed in the war since Hamas launched its attack last week, leading to retaliatory action from Israeli forces. Thousands more have been wounded, and many others have been taken hostage by Hamas and raped, tortured and murdered. The U.S. State Department confirmed Saturday that 29 Americans were among those killed in the violence while 15 remain unaccounted for.

"America is the most generous nation on earth, but we cannot allow foreign nationals who support terrorist groups like Hamas and march in our streets calling for 'intifada' to enter or stay in our country," Rubio wrote in a press release.

Following the attack on October 7, many Americans began participating in demonstrations supporting Hamas terrorists' attack on Israel, with several of these demonstrations happening at U.S. colleges and universities. Additionally, the former chief of Hamas' political bureau last week called for Muslims across the world to head to the squares and streets to protest in support of Palestinians and for neighboring countries to join the battle against Israel.

Rubio's release says some people responsible for organizing and participating in the demonstrations across the U.S. supporting Hamas are in the country on visas.

"The Biden Administration has the authority and an obligation under existing law to immediately identify, cancel the visas of, and remove foreign nationals already here in America who have demonstrated support terrorist groups, and in many cases, even celebrated the slaughter of Israeli babies and the rape of Jewish girls," the Republican senator said.

Pro-Palestinian student groups at Harvard University and other institutions have also released statements endorsing the violence against Israel while many of the universities themselves have condemned the acts of terrorism.

The Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups, comprised of about 30 Harvard student groups, wrote in a statement shortly after the attack, "We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence." The statement was later deleted after several of the groups withdrew their names amid backlash and after some CEOs demanded the university release the names of the students who signed the statement.

"In addition to demanding the Biden Administration apply our existing laws, I will introduce legislation to force them to act," Rubio said.

Rubio said he would introduce legislation requiring the Biden Administration to rescind visas of foreign nationals who actively support Hamas and legislation to remove federal funding from colleges and universities that allow protests, demonstrations and other activity that can be "reasonably construed" to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization.

Hamas was designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 1997 by the State Department’s Bureau of Counterterrorism.

Other GOP lawmakers calling for the U.S. to not accept refugees from Gaza include Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs.

"I don't know what Biden's gonna do, but we cannot accept people from Gaza into this country as refugees," DeSantis said during a campaign stop in Iowa. "I am not going to do that. If you look at how they behave, not all of them are Hamas, but they are all antisemitic. None of them believe in Israel's right to exist."

Piper Laurie, the three-time Academy Award-nominated actress whose career in Hollywood spanned seven decades, has died. She was 91.

Laurie died of old age on Saturday, her manager Marion Rosenberg confirmed to the Associated Press. In an email to the outlet, Rosenberg described the star as a ""a superb talent and a wonderful human being."

In 1961, Laurie earned her first Oscar nomination for her turn as Paul Newman's alcoholic girlfriend Sarah Packard in the poolhall drama "The Hustler." Laurie and Newman had previously appeared in 1957’s "Until They Sail" but the actress told Fox News Digital in 2022 that they never really interacted until they starred together in "The Hustler."

"That’s when I was really confronted with that beauty, those spectacular eyes," she remembered. 

‘CARRIE’ STAR PIPER LAURIE RECALLS BEFRIENDING PAUL NEWMAN, ROCK HUDSON: 'I ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT OF IT

Laurie shared that "it was a great gift to be part of a wonderful film" and she "enjoyed every moment of it."

In her interview with Fox News Digital, Laurie said that she didn't attend the Academy Awards that year since she didn't expect to win. She recalled that she watched the ceremony over dinner with her husband and mother-in-law in New York City. 

"I was thrilled I didn’t go," she said. "And of course, I didn’t win. Not with Sophia Loren’s performance. I mean, my goodness, was it even a debate?"

Laurie's next Oscar nomination came in 1976 when she starred as Sissy Spacek's fanatically religious, abusive mother Margaret in the film adaptation of Stephen King's classic horror novel "Carrie."

"I think it was a terrific movie," she told Fox News Digital in 2022. "At first, I didn’t know if it was a comedy or what. I remembered I tried some things during rehearsal, and I was told, ‘Piper, I don’t think you could do that. You’re gonna get a laugh!’"

She continued, "We were all supposed to take this seriously. But I played my role very big and flashy. And I guess in some ways, it still turned out to be funny."

"I will say, my daughter’s friends were very young and easily frightened. When they would come to visit, they would not look at me in the face! They would just go straight to her room," Laurie recalled with a laugh.

Laurie scored her third Academy Award nomination for her performance as a young deaf woman in the 1986 romantic drama "Children of a Lesser God."

In addition to her film work, Laurie earned accolades for her roles in television series and TV movies. She received nine Emmy Award nominations, including two for her performance as the villainous lumber mill manager Catherine Martell in David Lynch’s series "Twin Peaks." In 1991, she won a Golden Globe Award for her role as Martell.

Laurie won her only Emmy Award after starring alongside James Woods and James Garner in the 1986 TV movie "Promise." She was last nominated for an Emmy Award in 1999, when she appeared as a guest star in the sitcom "Frasier."

Born Rosetta Jacobs, Laurie arrived in Hollywood in 1949 and was quickly given a contract with Universal-International, a new name that she hated and a string of starring roles with Ronald Reagan, Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis, among others.

Laurie made her debut at 17 in "Louisa," playing Reagan’s daughter, then appeared opposite Francis the talking mule in "Francis Goes to the Races." She made several films with Curtis, whom she once dated, including "The Prince Who Was a Thief," "No Room for the Groom," "Son of Ali Baba" and "Johnny Dark."

Dissatisfied with the roles that she was being offered, Laurie walked out on her $2,000-a-week contract in 1955.

She moved to New York, where she found the roles she was seeking in theater and live television drama.

After earning Emmy nominations for her roles in "Days of Wine and Roses," "The Deaf Heart" and "The Road That Led After," Laurie made her return to film when director Robert Rossen cast her in "The Hustler."

However, Laurie stepped away from acting for several years after "The Hustler." She married film critic Joseph Morgenstern, welcomed a daughter, Ann Grace, and moved to a farmhouse in Woodstock, New York. She said later that the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War had influenced her decision to make the change.

"I was disenchanted and looking for an existence more meaningful for me," she recalled, adding that she never regretted the move.

"My life was full," she said in 1990. "I always liked using my hands, and I always painted."

Laurie also became noted as a baker, with her recipes appearing in The New York Times.

In 1964, Laurie made guest appearances in the TV series "The Eleventh Hour" and "Breaking Point." She went on to star in the 1965 Broadway revival of "The Glass Menagerie."

Laurie returned to the big screen after director Brian de Palma approached her to star in "Carrie."
