AP reported on the departure of a Harvard professor from the United States after the shooting at the synagogue

Carlos Portugal Guvea, a professor at Harvard University from Brazil, left the United States after his visa was canceled due to the shooting outside a synagogue in New York in October. The Associated Press (AP) wrote about this on December 6.

According to Assistant Secretary of State Tricia McLaughlin, the opportunity to work and study in the United States is a privilege, not a right.

"There is no place in the United States for audacious, violent acts of anti—Semitism like this," she said.

According to a Brooklyn police report, on October 2, 2025, on the eve of Yom Kippur ("Day of Atonement"), considered the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, Guvea fired an air rifle several times outside the synagogue, saying later that he was "hunting rats."

The authors note that initially Guvea pleaded not guilty to three offenses and one serious crime: illegal shooting with an air gun, vandalism, hooliganism and violation of public order.

As a result, on October 16, the US State Department canceled the professor's visa, and on November 13, he made a deal with the investigation and pleaded guilty to illegal use of pneumatic weapons. In response, other charges were dropped against him, and the migration service ruled that he should leave the country.

Deport them completely: The United States will review visas for millions of foreigners

Tens of thousands of Ukrainians will be among those who will have their documents cancelled.

Earlier, on December 4, The New York Post reported that an immigrant student had been detained in the United States, who was allegedly preparing a mass shooting, as outlined in the manifesto found in his possession. A 25-year—old student from Pakistan was detained on November 24 near a public park after law enforcement officers searched his pickup truck, which contained a Glock 357 pistol, several loaded magazines for 27 rounds and bulletproof vests. Law enforcement agencies seized a notebook from a man with notes in which he described in detail a plan to attack the school where he studied.
