The United States immigration officials have canceled about 1,500 visas of international students amid reports of their participation in Palestinian pro -Palestinian protests in universities across the country.
According to the Higher Education (IHE), the cancellation of the visa not only targeted those who directly participated in the protests, but also those who were indirectly linked to the Palestinian purpose.
The US government claims that these students incited Judaism, the claim was strongly rejected by students, lawyers and social workers, including many Jewish workers who actively supported the protest.
While US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the cancellation of 300 students visas in the end of March, sources show that the total number of affected students is significantly higher.
The Immigration Lawyer’s Association reported that 4,700 students were removed from the immigration database, known as the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).
As of April 17, the National Association of Foreign Student Advisors (NAFSA) said that there are now reports of 1,400 students who now face exile, while the IHE has confirmed that 1,489 students have lost their visas.
Influenced by US universities
The cancellations of these visas have affected students from 240 universities and colleges in the United States, including prominent private institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, Ohio State University, and Maryland University as well as various liberal arts colleges.
Reason behind the visa cancellation
US President Donald Trump’s administration’s move comes when he claims he is trying to prevent workers from taking campuses.
Rubio said on March 28, “We will not import workers in the United States. They are here to get an education. They are here to go to class. They are not here to guide the workers’ movements who are interrupting and harming our universities.”
The cancellation of a large -scale visa has given rise to a widespread concern and anxiety within the international student community because he said he had legal status in the United States, which has been abolished without any notice.
Mohammed Ali Syed, who guided the immigration practice group in Washington DC, noted that Palestinian supporters were not the only reasons behind the cancellation of visa cancellation.
Syed noted that some students have lost their visas due to past traffic violations or in some cases, there is no clear explanation.
“This widespread action has led to legal challenges and raised concerns about the appropriate process and the impact on US higher education institutions,” said Syed.
He called on the affected students to immediately consult immigration lawyers to seek legal powers to protect their rights.
“Students can file a lawsuit in the federal courts, which emphasizes violations of the proper action and can try to restore their legal status,” he said.
He added that under immediate conditions, students can also file for orders (TRO) to temporarily stop deportation and maintain their status, while legal battles come out.
