Trump administration cancels more than a dozen international student visas at University of California, Stanford

The Trump administration has canceled more than a dozen international student visas at California campuses, including UCLA, UC San Diego and Stanford, university leaders, students and faculty at campuses confirmed to The Times.

At UCLA, the revocations hit at least eight international students, according to faculty groups and students. It's unclear whether any students were detained by immigration authorities or why their visas were canceled. A UCLA spokesperson did not immediately confirm the number or reply to a request for more comment.

At UC San Diego, Chancellor Pradeep Khosla said in a campus message late Friday that five students had their visas revoked. He said the university received the notification "without warning." Khosla said a sixth student was "detained at the border, denied entry and deported to their home country.”

"The federal government has not explained the reasons behind these terminations," Khosla wrote. "The students have been notified and we are working directly with them to provide support."

4. Not my president

Never has been. Never will be.

What right does he have to do this?

I don’t have to imagine the disappointment of these students and the people whose programs they were in. I had one of my assistantships canceled when I was in grad school and I remember the better disappointment. No funds they said. Budget issues.

After a sufficient amount of whining, screaming, and complaining to the right people, it was restored. But I recall how terribly disappointed I was and thinking what was I going to do with my future? It seemed like the end of the world.
