The revocation of over 600 student visas by the US government is deeply concerning and unjustified. Many of these cases involve minor infractions or lawful activism protected by free speech rights. Revoking visas for non-criminal offenses like speeding tickets or critical op-eds is an overreach that undermines academic freedom and free expression. This "Catch and Revoke" program powered by AI monitoring of social media is a disturbing overreaction that targets foreign students unfairly. The deportation of students in the middle of their education is highly disruptive and does immense harm. I urge you to immediately halt this misguided visa revocation campaign against international students and restore their legal status to continue their studies without fear of retaliation for protected speech. Upholding constitutional rights and treating students fairly should be prioritized over ideological crackdowns that damage America's reputation for open intellectual discourse.
