Trump Administration Revokes 4,000 Student Visas Linked to Criminal Records for Assault, Robbery
- The Trump administration revoked thousands of international students' visas starting in 2020 based on alleged criminal histories, primarily in the United States.
- This action arose from a mass government program targeting minor legal incidents without verifying the accuracy or severity of the records involved.
- Affected students faced disenrollment, barred class attendance, restriction from work, and were often advised to leave the country despite full compliance with immigration rules.
- Officials disclosed that the terminations occurred quickly after receiving data from a law enforcement database sweep, impacting at least 6,400 students, many with dismissed or minor charges like speeding ten mph over limits.
- The backlash prompted judicial rebukes for due process violations, court challenges, and eventual partial government rollbacks, yet concerns remain about systemic errors in immigration enforcement.
