Washington: Visas of foreign students studying at US universities have been suddenly revoked. According to US media, colleges across the country are reporting that some of their international students’ visas are being unexpectedly revoked. The educational institutions where the legal status of students has been terminated include Harvard, Arizona State University, Stanford, Michigan, UCLA, and Ohio State University.
According to media reports, the visa revocation process has been carried out without any regulation, the reasons for the visa revocation are not clear, which has spread concern among students.
Visas can be revoked for a variety of reasons, according to the Associated Press, but college leaders say the government is quietly ending students’ legal residency status, and is not even giving notice to students or schools, a practice that could easily expose students to detention and deportation.
The Trump administration has targeted students who were active or spoke out in support of Palestine, with several high-profile students being detained, including green card holder Mahmoud Khalil, who was leading a protest at Columbia University.
But universities are also revoking visas from students who had no connection to the protests, in some cases citing past violations such as traffic violations. Some colleges, however, say the reasons for revoking students’ legal status are unclear to them and they are seeking answers.
