Part of a broader immigration enforcement campaign targeting international students nationwide, a politically motivated move that undermines academic freedom and America’s standing in the world.
New York, N.Y. — In a controversial move, the Trump administration has revoked dozens of student visas across New York universities, including NYU and CUNY, as part of a nationwide crackdown on international students.
Around 50 students in New York have been affected, with reports indicating visa cancellations linked to minor infractions such as traffic violations or participation in pro-Palestinian protests.
The abrupt cancellations have left students scrambling for legal assistance or facing deportation.
The initiative is part of a broader immigration enforcement campaign targeting international students. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed over 300 visa revocations nationwide, stating the policy aims to enhance border security. However, critics argue the move is politically motivated and undermines academic freedom.
Universities are now tasked with verifying visa statuses independently through federal databases, adding administrative strain.
Civil rights groups, including the National Immigration Project, are challenging the legality of these actions. Immigration experts highlight the unprecedented nature of this purge, which disrupts the lives of students and tarnishes America’s reputation as an educational hub.Â
Advocacy groups are urging transparency and fairness in visa processes to protect academic institutions and their diverse communities.
