Obtaining a student visa is a privilege. The free speech of foreigners in this country is limited by US Code to not allow endorsing or encouraging terrorism or terrorist organizations.

According to 8 U.S. Code Subchapter V - ALIEN TERRORIST REMOVAL PROCEDURES via § 1531 and 8 U.S. Code § 1182 - Inadmissible aliens and 8 U.S. Code § 1227 - Deportable aliens - (a)(4)(b), endorsing or espousing terrorist activities or persuading others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization is a deportable offense.

See:

8 U.S. Code Chapter 12 - IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY

8 U.S. Code Subchapter V - ALIEN TERRORIST REMOVAL PROCEDURES

8 U.S. Code § 1531 - Definition

(1) the term “alien terrorist” means any alien described in section 1227(a)(4)(B) of this title;
8 U.S. Code § 1227 - Deportable aliens - (a)(4)(b)
(4) Security and related grounds
(B) Terrorist activities
Any alien who is described in subparagraph (B) or (F) of section 1182(a)(3) of this title is deportable.
8 U.S. Code § 1182 - Inadmissible aliens - (a)(3)
(a) Classes of aliens ineligible for visas or admission
(3) Security and related grounds
(B) Terrorist activities
(i) In general
Any alien who--
(VII) endorses or espouses terrorist activity or persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization;

The question is whether or not you believe that student groups who organize rallies or encourage others to attend rallies in support of the Hamas attacks against Israeli civilians is a form of endorsing or espousing terrorist activity or terrorist groups and if those students who attend those rallies are also endorsing or espousing terrorist activities or groups.

If you do believe that, then deporting them under 8 U.S. Code § 1182 is legal.
