Hundreds of international students in the US have received emails stating that their F1, M1, and J1 visas have been canceled. Additionally, they were instructed to self-deport using the CBP Home App. It is a result of the Trump administration’s targeting of pro-Palestinian activism and anti-Semitic activities on university campuses.
It is also reported that the US government is using AI technology to identify and deport foreign students who appear to support Hamas or other designated terrorist groups. The emails were sent to students who participated in protests and shared or liked social media posts deemed anti-national.
The Department of State reviews the social media profiles of foreign students. If derogatory information is found, screenshots are taken for records. Using AI to monitor students’ social media has raised concerns about privacy and freedom of speech.
Some critics argue that the move infringes on First Amendment rights, targeting those expressing opinions rather than proven threats. Legal experts warn that this policy could disproportionately affect international students and potentially criminalize political expression.
