According to a statement by the university leadership, an international graduate student at the University of Minnesota was detained last Thursday by American immigration and customs enforcement, which said the situation “deepened”.
The student was admitted to the Twin City campus of the school in Minianpolis under Carlson School of Management. The university said that the student was arrested at an off-kampas residence, but did not name the student nor did the student was detained.
The Homeland Security Department on Monday told Fox News Digital that the student was not arrested in connection with anti -Israeli protests, which have erupted in various American institutions, which have motivated the state department to cancel many foreign students of their visa.
A senior DHS official said, “This student is not related to opposition.” “In question, the person was arrested after visa cancellation by the state department. A former criminal history for a DUI.”

However, “The university had no prior knowledge of the incident and did not share any information with federal officials,” the institution said it was working to provide the student with legal aid and other support services.
Carlson School of Management Dean Jamie Pratekt said that the university is committed to its international community during the “time of uncertainty about changing federal immigration policies”.
“Like this, our community deeply influences,” Prakart said in a statement. “From the beginning of the university’s business school, our doors have been open to international students. Faculty, employees and scholars of different countries have strengthened our research and classes – we have to show in Carlson School today.”

Sen Dorn Clarke issued a statement on X on Friday, condemning the rift of Trump administration on international students.
“I am sad and angry that Ice is walking around the University of Minnesota,” Clarke said. “Our complexes must have a safe place for all students, employees and visitors … we should stand against the insensitive demonetisation of our friends, family and neighbors of Trump administration.”

State Secretary Marco Rubio also said that the state department has canceled the visa for about 300 international students due to protest.
Rubio said during a press statement on Friday, “It could be more than 300 at this point.” “We do it every day. Every time I find one of these luxuries, I take their visa.”
“We gave you a visa to come and study and get a degree,” Rubio said. “If you come to the United States as a visitor and create an uproar for us. We don’t want it.”
