The dispersion of the student visa of the Trump administration and, in separate action, has spread to the south, the expiry of students from a tracking system for foreign scholars.
Public and private colleges and universities in the sun belt have reported that at least some of their students were in their position because welcome scholars have been canceled or replaced otherwise.
Some university representatives said that institutions came to know that some of their students had canceled their visa or their immigration situation changed by examining the Federal Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (Sevis), which is a federal tracking system for exchange visitors.
Florida International University spokesperson Dianne Fernandez said that 18 foreign students at the institute have canceled their F1 student visa.
Texas A&M spokesperson Megan Lacey said 23 international students have abolished their service records. “A sevis record termination essentially ends the legal status of a person in the country,” Lacey said via email.

The University of Texas at Austin has only stated that according to Austin’s NBC affiliated KKXN, “many” foreign students have changed their immigration status in recent times.
Schools did not refer to a specific reason for the change of immigration status of students.
Recent developments occur when the administration of President Donald Trump has demanded the cancellation of visas of hundreds of colleges and university scholars. Last month, state secretary Marco Rubio estimated that 300 foreign colleges and university students canceled their visas.
The cancellation policy attracted attention after 8 March, when a former Columbia University Postgraduate, who helped in the 2024 student protest against Israel’s works in Gaza and who were living in the premises with their wife, were arrested by immigration and customs enforcement agents outside their house, who said that their student was rejected, according to the account of wife Noor Abdala.
One of his lawyers, Amy Greer said Abdullah said that ice agent Khalil was a permanent resident with a green card, but he took them away and according to his legal team, has not yet produced an arrest warrant.
On Friday, a judge ruled that the Trump administration could deport Khalil.
Khalil’s arrest in a federal feature in Louisiana has become a reason for the arrest and continuous custody, the protesters asked to fanning across the country that the argument they argue are lacking proper process and a clear intent by the Trump administration that it disagrees.
The Trump administration has stabilized Israel in his campaign in his campaign against Hamas’s critic and his war against Hamas’s terrorists after October 7, 2023, attacked Israel in which 1,200 people were killed and around 250 people were hostage.
Most of the wars in Gaza, neighboring Israel, and citizens have been displaced and killed in large number, Palestinian health authorities estimated that 50,500 people were killed.
The Trump administration has said that it has the right to deport Khalil as they “led a nominated terrorist organization, Hamas -related activities.” However, his lawyers have argued that there is no evidence that Khalil has provided any kind of support to terrorist groups.
Rubio also supported Khalil in a letter, which cited a vague provision of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act, which allows the state secretary to be “personally determined” alone whether an immigrant should live in the country.
In Louisiana on Friday, an immigration judge said that Rubio was clarified that it was seen and ruled that Khalil could be deported. They have to file for relief till 23 April. At the same time, he is challenging the basis of his arrest in the federal court in New Jersey.
Although the government’s arguments against Khalil’s presence have expanded to include the reasons not initially given, including alleged failure to disclose the information of the content on their residency application, the White House has rapidly targeted students of foreign origin, whose main crime activeness appears.
Rubio said in Guyana last month, “Every time I get one of these lunes, I take their visa.”
Improvement The students had abolished their records in the students and exchange visitor information systems, rather than that their student visa was canceled. A previous version also denied a Texas A&M spokesperson. Spokesperson Megan Lacey is not Megan Bennett.
