Trump Administration Revokes 4,000 Student Visas Linked to Criminal Records for Assault, Robbery
- On Tuesday, a high-ranking official from the Department of Homeland Security revealed that under the Trump administration, thousands of international students had their SEVIS records nationwide terminated.

- Following court pressure and overturned rulings, the administration began reinstating affected records, but the episode reflects ongoing immigration enforcement challenges and legal uncertainties.
