International Students In U.S. Reconsider Travel Plans

(AP) – International students in the U.S. are reconsidering their travel plans this summer after a wave of student status terminations and visa revocations. Even before students suddenly began losing permission to study in the U.S., some colleges were encouraging international students and faculty to postpone travel, citing government efforts to deport students involved in pro-Palestinian activism and worries of potential travel bans. As the scale of the status terminations emerged in recent weeks, more have cautioned against non-essential travel abroad for international students. University of California, Berkeley has issued an advisory saying upcoming international travel was risky due to “strict vetting and enforcement.”
