Trump Revokes International Student Visas at UC, Stanford

International Student Visa Changes at UC and Stanford

​The Trump administration has revoked the visas of several international students and recent alumni from prominent California universities, including Stanford University and multiple University of California (UC) campuses such as UC Berkeley, UC San Diego, UC Davis, and UCLA.

Details of the Visa Revocations:

• Stanford University: Six individuals, comprising four students and two recent graduates, had their visas canceled without prior notice to the university. ​
• UC Berkeley: Six students, including two undergraduates, two graduates, and two alumni, experienced similar visa revocations. ​
• UC San Diego (UCSD): Five students had their F-1 visas canceled without warning, according to UCSD’s announcement. ​

These actions are part of a broader national immigration crackdown reportedly targeting international students with pro-Palestinian views, though specific details or political affiliations of the affected students have not been released.

University officials have expressed concern over the lack of transparency from federal authorities regarding the reasons for these visa cancellations. The abrupt nature of these actions has caused distress within campus communities, prompting institutions to advise affected students to contact their respective embassies and seek legal assistance.
