Trump's White House keeps treating students like criminals [View all]

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 Security’s 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 they’ve 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 Another student’s visa was revoked from a dropped charge more than three years ago, while someone else was booted from the country for driving on a suspended license.
