International Students Under Trump

The Trump administration is rapidly revoking student visas for hundreds of international students at colleges across the country. ICE agents have abducted them on campuses and outside their homes, detaining them for months in remote holding cells; many foreign students are fleeing voluntarily to avoid that fate. Universities’ international offices are scrambling to navigate a visa system in chaos and figure out how to help students while avoiding federal backlash.

Students themselves are afraid and confused. Some were told they’re a “foreign policy threat,” others that minor criminal infractions are grounds for deportation. But many more have no idea what they did to jeopardize their hard-earned U.S. education.

Inside Higher Ed is closely covering the crackdown on international students. Follow along here.
