You may have read about Rumeysa Ozturk, Mahmoud Khalil, Yunseo Chung, or Alireza Doroudi. These university students, who were born in other countries, were arrested by ICE. Most were sent to detention centers far away from their U.S. homes. They face deportation for speaking out or writing about U.S. foreign policy or for simply associating with others who have done so.
And they are not the only ones. The current administration is not only threatening the free speech rights of foreign students, but is trying to prevent U.S. Universities from admitting them at all. Join us for a discussion about the threat to foreign students and what can be done about it.
