Why are student visas being targeted in the US? The risks, rights, and legal challenges under Trump’s new policies

The Trump administration has escalated its immigration policies, revoking hundreds of student visas, especially targeting international students linked to pro-Palestinian activism. This crackdown, under the Immigration and Nationality Act, has raised concerns about free speech and national security, as universities struggle with uncertain visa statuses. Legal experts warn that these actions could violate First Amendment rights, leaving students vulnerable to detention or deportation. The shift risks undermining the US's appeal as a top destination for global education.
