Visa and deportation controversies in the second Trump administration
During the second presidency of Donald Trump, the United States has pursued a policy of targeting political dissidents, particularly pro-Palestinian international students and academics, for deportation. As of April 17, 2025, over 1,000 international students and graduates had had their visas revoked or their status terminated, and by May 15, 2025, almost 2,000 student visas had been canceled, though many had been restored by courts.
