Trump Administration Revokes Visas of International Students at UMass Amherst, UC, and Stanford
The Trump administration has taken a controversial step by revoking the visas of international students at several prestigious U.S. universities, including the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the University of California system, and Stanford University. This decision affects at least five students at UMass Amherst, with similar actions reported at UC campuses and Stanford.
The move has sparked widespread criticism and concern among educational institutions and immigration advocates. Critics argue that the revocation of these F-1 visas disrupts the lives of students who have complied with all legal requirements and are contributing to the academic community. The affected students are now facing uncertainty about their future in the U.S., with some considering legal action to challenge the decision.
Universities have expressed their dismay and are working to support the affected students. The action is seen as part of a broader policy shift under the Trump administration aimed at tightening immigration controls. This development has raised questions about the future of international education in the U.S. and the country's attractiveness to global talent.
