The number of newly enrolled #InternationalStudents in US #colleges dropped 17% this fall after the #Trump admin made it more challenging to obtain #StudentVisas [& jailed many legally here], data released Monday by the Institute of #International #Education shows.
The figures, based on a survey of >825 colleges & #universities, provide one of the clearest views of the potential impact of measures Trump’s admin has taken that make it more difficult for foreign students to come to the US. -
Trump Administration Seeks Strict Time Limits on Visas for Physicians, Academics
This week, the Trump administration proposed a new rule to cap the amount of time that foreign-born reporters, academics, students, physicians, and others can stay in the United States. Comments on the proposed rule must be received on or before September 29, 2025. The proposed rule caps international students and exchange visitors’ visas at four years. Currently…

Colleges and universities experiencing significant drop in international student enrollment. “Universities all over the country are experiencing…drops. Arizona State University reported a fall semester decline for the first time since 2020. Declines have been announced at universities in Texas, Missouri and Illinois. The state of Massachusetts is expecting about 10,000 fewer new international students this year.
‘One would describe the situation with international students to be very much in flux with tremendous levels of uncertainty,’ says Fanta Aw, who leads the Association of International Educators, or NAFSA.” #academia #AcademicChatter #universities #college #HigherEd #Students #StudentVisas #TrumpAdministration -
MAGA aren't happy, but then they're never happy so why do some people obsess over placating them over everyone else? Is it cowardice, is it because they are MAGA but too chicken to admit it? Fuck them all anyway...

State Department’s New Hobby: Collecting 6,000 Vacant Student Visas
#Satire #StudentVisas #USStateDepartment #InternationalStudents #TheJestPress By: TheJestPress.com **US State Department Revokes 6,000 Student Visas, Claims Students “Weren’t Sure What A W-2 Was Anyway”** WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a stunning move that experts are calling “probably not on the syllabus,” the US State Department announced Wednesday that it has revoked 6,000 student visas. Officials maintain…

📢 The US State Department has quietly rolled out a controversial new requirement for international students. 📱 Applicants for F, J, and M visas are now being told to make their social media profiles publicly viewable during the visa process. 🤬
🔍 The goal appears to be enhanced vetting, but it raises serious concerns:
🔓 Loss of privacy for global students
🌍 Disproportionate surveillance based on nationality
📉 Chilling effects on speech and expression💬 International education depends on trust and openness. This policy could send the opposite message.
Is this smart security or a step too far?

…Citing news media reports, #Harvard’s amended complaint said that the #Trump admin had convened a group of senior officials to brainstorm additional ways to punish Harvard, even after Judge Burroughs issued an order on May 23 banning #DHS’s initial plan.

…The latest filing, an amended complaint, followed a string of court actions by the #university against the #Trump admin, part of a battle that began in April, when Harvard refused to comply with a list of federal demands.
The government asked, among other things, for Harvard to bar students *hostile* to *American values* & to allow an audit of #faculty & #students to measure “viewpoint diversity” at the school.

The proclamation blocked Thurs was issued just the day before. It was the 3rd time in a month that the #Trump admin has tried to use its power to ban #InternationalStudents at #Harvard in what the #university has said is a violation of its #FirstAmendment rights. But it was the 1st time Trump relied on #ExecutivePower rather than agency rules & actions, a sign of how personal the effort to inflict distress on the university has become for him.

The orders from Judge Burroughs were victories, if perhaps temporary ones, in #Harvard’s battle w/ #Trump, for whom the #university has become a focal point in his effort to make #HigherEducation conform to his *political agenda* [will].

A federal judge late Thurs temporarily blocked #Trump’s latest effort to prevent #Harvard from enrolling #InternationalStudents, stalling his first bid to directly [ab]use the power of the presidency against the #university.
Judge Allison D. Burroughs of the US Dist Court in Massachusetts also extended for about 2wks her previous order from May that prevented Trump from blocking Harvard from issuing certain types of #StudentVisas.

This week's Skinny timed out with the end of the month, and a season change on my website; needless to say I'm a little exhausted. I'm fond of this one tho, there's several pieces I wrote this week that when cleaned up clearly could have been full essays. Not that I had the time to source them, but some of this was pretty good for a social media blog for sure.
This week we're talking about how the budget bill fuels the fascist anti-trans pogrom, the multiple purposes of the surveillance panopticon, ICE agents setting traps for migrants at courthouses nationwide, and the banality of the open white nationalism the regime engages in daily. Oh, and Senate Democrats could stop the GOP homicidal class war Billionaire Bill in its tracks; do they want to? Check out this week's Skinny for more:

The Skinny: Banality of Evil in Trump’s America
"Which brings us to the vague wording, and potentially broad applications of this ideological screening. As we’ve learned to watch for from studying the Heritage Foundation’s Project Esther, and the Trump administration’s clear adherence to its doctrines, there is nothing in any of the administration’s orders targeting dissidents that essentializes being pro-Palestine, or anti-genocide. The regime has already asserted the power to define anything as terrorism, or material support, and even casual criticism as being a threat to US national security, so why would they stop at anti-genocide protestors or foreign students at all for that matter? A vast digital panopticon relying on “AI-processing” technology to sort through every aspect of a targeted individual or group’s lives can and almost certainly will be repurposed to identify and surveil the regime’s political and ideological opposition in broader American society until such a time as a ghoul like Marco Rubio, or Pam Bondi finds a way to declare that their constitutional rights too, are null and void."

The move comes as the #Trump admin has sought to ramp up #deportations & revoke #StudentVisas as part of its wide-ranging efforts to fulfill his hardline #immigration agenda.

The judge in #RumeysaOzturk’s case noted that the govt presented no evidence other than #Ozturk’s op-ed raising a very significant & substantial claim that 1st Amendment protected speech formed the basis for her detention.
Which suggests the reason she was detained was punishment for her opinion.

#Trump takes aim at foreign-born college students, with 300 visas revoked
Some students have been picked up off the street by immigration agents and held in detention centers, sometimes a thousand miles away from their homes, with little warning
By Daniella Silva, Chloe Atkins, Julia Ainsley and Abigail Williams, March 27, 2025
"Secretary of State #MarcoRubio said Thursday the State Department has revoked 300 or more #StudentVisas, as the White House increasingly targets foreign-born students whose main transgression seems to be #activism.
"Rubio warned that the administration was looking out for 'these lunatics.' Around the country, #scholars have been picked up, in some cases by masked immigration agents, and held in #DetentionCenters, sometimes a thousand miles from their homes with little warning and often with few details about why they were being detained.
"'It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visas,' Rubio said at a news conference in Guyana, where he was meeting with leaders.
"Many of those rounded up by Trump officials attended or were part of the pro-Palestinian movement that swept college campuses last year, and while the administration hasn’t said publicly why these students are being singled out over others, at least one sought by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement appeared on lists made by far-right pro-Israel groups as targets for deportation.
"And Trump allies, many in government again, telegraphed for months before he took office that they’d seek to deport students who openly advocated for Hamas or other U.S.-designated terrorist groups or after they participated in an unauthorized campus #protest and were suspended, expelled or jailed.
"The detentions are a signal of a broader effort by President Donald Trump to clamp down on the actions of legal permanent residents, student visa holders and others who live and work legally in the United States, one that threatens to undermine a fundamental American right to #FreeSpeech and to assemble, experts and advocates said."

Some students have been picked up off the street by immigration agents and held in detention centers, sometimes a thousand miles away from their homes, with little warning

"Secretary of State #MarcoRubio said Thursday the State Department has revoked 300 or more #StudentVisas, as the White House increasingly targets foreign-born students whose main transgression seems to be #activism.
"Rubio warned that the administration was looking out for 'these lunatics.' Around the country, #scholars have been picked up, in some cases by masked immigration agents, and held in #DetentionCenters, sometimes a thousand miles from their homes with little warning and often with few details about why they were being detained.
"'It might be more than 300 at this point. We do it every day. Every time I find one of these lunatics, I take away their visas,' Rubio said at a news conference in Guyana, where he was meeting with leaders.
"Many of those rounded up by Trump officials attended or were part of the pro-Palestinian movement that swept college campuses last year, and while the administration hasn’t said publicly why these students are being singled out over others, at least one sought by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement appeared on lists made by far-right pro-Israel groups as targets for deportation.
"And Trump allies, many in government again, telegraphed for months before he took office that they’d seek to deport students who openly advocated for Hamas or other U.S.-designated terrorist groups or after they participated in an unauthorized campus #protest and were suspended, expelled or jailed.
"The detentions are a signal of a broader effort by President Donald Trump to clamp down on the actions of legal permanent residents, student visa holders and others who live and work legally in the United States, one that threatens to undermine a fundamental American right to #FreeSpeech and to assemble, experts and advocates said."
