US immigration officials have canceled a group of student visas for foreign nationals in major colleges including Harvard, Tufts and Stanford, which are in the increasing number of cases that have expressed concern among the premises of the campus.
Recently cancellation – Often the federal immigration records are discovered by schools only – according to the statements of the last several days from colleges across the country, both students and recent graduates have been influenced.
The Trump administration steps between wide efforts to tighten the monitoring of international students, the state secretary Marco Rubio said last month that 300 or more such visas were canceled.
“We are still trying to get a good handle, which is trying to track it and trying to get a better understanding of its scope and width,” said Shev Dalal-Dhani said, “We are still trying to get a good handle,” said Shav Dalal-Dhani, senior director of government relations for the American Immigration Counsels Association.
The Turkish National and PhD students at Tufts University in the most high-profile cases are Rumca Ojturk, who was detained by Federal agents last month while walking on the road.
Another includes Mahmud Khalil, a recent graduate of Columbia University, whose visas were canceled after participating in Palestinian performances. Both Ojturk and Khalil are currently being held in immigration jails, while the government tries to deport them.
But recently, dozens of students and recent graduates in California have terminated their visas in several complexes, including UCLA, UC Davis, UC Davis, UC Diego, UC Santa Cruise -Stanford, Los Angeles Times told Monday. Two unidentified students have filed cases in the federal court, alleging that their visas have been canceled without any procedure, in some cases, such as minor legal violations such as driving violations.
Stanford said in a statement on Friday, “The university learned about six students, whose student visa was canceled.” A university working group on immigration continues to be found, and the school said that it does not share the records of students or personnel with immigration officers unless it is legally necessary.
Harvard said on Sunday that three of the current students and two recent graduates of Harvard abolished their student visa. According to Associated Press, additional cancellation has been reported at Dartmouth College, Minnesota State University, Arizona State University, Arizona State University and Oregon University.
Officials of the State Department and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not respond to the requests of the comment.
The Foreign Department had the right to cancel the visa for a long time, but Dalal-Sadhini said the current wave seems wide and more coordinated than the previous enforcement works.
Visa cancellations were among many issues spotted by anti -Trump protesters in dozens of American cities by anti -Trump protesters on 5 April. Some organizers pointed to the matters of Ojturk and Khalil, which they see as the goal of international students and see the freedom of speech on the campus.
