Less than 100 days into President Trump’s second term, immigrant academics, particularly from marginalized backgrounds, face severe scrutiny over visa issues and funding threats. The Department of Education's punitive actions against universities concerning specific political agendas have led to over a thousand international scholars facing deportation. This scrutiny extends particularly towards Chinese scholars, with the House Select Committee demanding sensitive academic information. Such measures reflect a growing landscape of anti-Chinese sentiment unfolding amidst shifting geopolitical dynamics and challenges to the U.S.'s position as a global power.
The intensifying scrutiny faced by international scholars, especially among Arab, Muslim, Latinx, and Chinese demographics, reflects the political climate surrounding immigration and education policy reform.
The bipartisan escalation of anti-Chinese sentiment is fueled by geopolitical tensions, as policy makers struggle to define the U.S. role in a changing global landscape.
