As expected the Trump Administration is freezing the student visa and its process entirely as the government seeks to tighten immigration rules.
The Lowdown
According to reports, Donald Trump’s efforts to isolate the United States continue. Politico got its hands on a cable that made the revelation as it was headed to embassies and related. The cable according to the outlet was signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
One big expected change is mandatory social media checks with a few notable rules. Per the cable students who have revealed online that they are in any way in opposition to Israel’s war in Gaza may face heightened scrutiny entering the United States. If you have expressed such opinions exercise caution when traveling to the country.
A deep read at the Guardian found that by severely restricting foreign students’ access to education in the United States universities that depend on that money may suffer greatly.
