Why Is Trump Targeting So Many International Students?
Briefly

The Trump administration's recent changes to visa policies have led to the revocation of more than 1,000 F-1 and J-1 visas for students and scholars across over 170 institutions in at least 40 states. This sweeping action targets foreign students studying in the U.S. and also affects recent graduates and exchange scholars. The revocation process typically involves the State Department rescinding the visa and additional measures by the Department of Homeland Security to terminate their legal resident status, exposing them to risks such as deportation.
