Days after a federal judge in California temporarily blocked the Trump administration from revoking the legal status of international students, US government on Tuesday issued a warning to foreign students that their visas may be cancelled if they skip classes, drop out or leave their program of study without being informed.
The move came as the US has been resorting to strict immigration policies since Trump took charge as president. As per the External Ministry, at least 388 Indians have been deported from the US, mostly in February this year. The latest announced by the US government has been shared on the US Embassy in India X handle, threatening to cancel visas if students drop out, skip classes, or leave their program of study without informing their school.

Giving major relief to the foreign students, a federal judge called the administration’s efforts disruptive and likely unlawful. It is reported that the administration has canceled the visas of over 4,700 international students with little notice or explanation.
The Trump administration has been cracking down on immigration, especially international students, for various reasons, including violating visa terms, engaging in criminal activity, and participating in pro-Palestinian protests. Authorities have stated that there are anti-American people on the campuses, and have been haunting Harvard, accusing it of nurturing violence and antisemitism.
