In recent weeks, foreign students across the United States have witnessed a disturbing pattern unfold on their social media feeds: plainclothes agents arriving unannounced and arresting students, often hauling them away in unmarked cars to detention centers.
These detentions, which have attracted widespread attention, typically involve students who have been vocal about their support for the Palestinian cause, particularly in relation to protests on college campuses.
However, no criminal charges have been filed against them, and many students have been detained for what appears to be their political views.
The crackdown seems to have expanded beyond what was initially thought, with reports indicating that more than 1,000 international students or recent graduates have had their visas revoked or legal status altered.
