Because you cannot arrest US citizen just because they are at some gathering. You cant do that to someone on VISA.

What you can do is take someones VISA on basis of small gathering that you call protest.

> Rubio suggested without evidence she was involved in disruptive student protests

I wasn't trying to imply she was merely there, as Rubio is saying they participated. They never said the op-ed was related... so my question is, if the only reasoning is taking part in the protest, then why arrest nobody else who was there?

Maybe Rubio is not the most trustful source... i mean i said it before. They probably can't really get to US citizens. But they can take away peoples VISA on a whim. The reason is to send a message.
