Trump's White House keeps treating students like criminals
The Trump administration is continuing its attack on university students across the nation, as hundreds of visa holders and students with permanent residencies are being told they are no longer welcome in this country.
Without a chance to plead their case, students are receiving notifications from the Department of Homeland Securitys Student and Exchange Visitor Information System database informing them that their record is terminated. This means their legal status is invalid and they need to vacate the country.
For some students, they suspect theyve been targeted due to their proximity to political protests. However, others have been terminated without any ties to political activity at all. As a matter of fact, the only thing these students could point toward that could potentially be a reason for targeting is a past traffic violation.
One student told the Guardian that she received the notification because she was identified in [a] criminal records check for two traffic tickets that were later dismissed in court. Another students visa was revoked from a dropped charge more than three years ago, while someone else was booted from the country for driving on a suspended license.

(14,977 posts)I mean other than the fact that I was having issues concentrating with my trauma. I was very upset with my university for not taking more of a stand. I was doing Arizona State online.. go Sun devils!
But when I started asking questions to the administration and even student government and wasn't getting any answers, I was really disappointed. I honestly believed that the academic world would band together and he wouldn't be able to fuck with colleges. But it looks like nothing's beyond his tainted reach.
I realized that getting my bachelor's degree is not as important anymore at this age. And also getting a bachelor's degree in a liberal art like anthropology was going to be ridiculous because *I just knew* he was going to dismantle the museums and such. So my idea of having a nice fun Kush job in a museum for my final days is pretty much gone.
