The Trump administration has temporarily ceased the practice of terminating F-1 visas for foreign students with minor criminal offenses, allowing students whose visas were revoked to have them restored pending a new policy by ICE. The decision reflects ongoing tensions regarding foreign students accused of unlawful activities, especially those involved in political protests. Secretary of State Marco Rubio affirmed a strict 'zero tolerance' stance towards students linked to national security threats, while legal challenges highlight the significant number of students affected by these immigration policies.
ICE will still seek to deport other foreign students who engage in unlawful activity - including anti-Israel demonstrators on campus who have advocated for US-designated terror groups.
Hundreds of others who already had their visas canceled - whether their offenses were minor infractions like traffic violations or had been dismissed - will have them reactivated.
