Clearing out low-hanging fruit: foreigners whose legal visas had previously been revoked, though for whatever reason they’d been allowed to stay on afterward. [IsraelTimes] Iranian students say they have been informally advised by faculty to ‘lay low’ and ‘be invisible’ after Sama Ebrahimi Bajgani and fiancé Alireza Doroudi swept up by immigration officersSama Ebrahimi Bajgani and her fiancé, Alireza Doroudi, had just spent an evening celebrating the Persian New Year at the University of Alabama when seven armed immigration officers came to their apartment before dawn and arrested Doroudi. In a moment, the young couple’s life was upended. |

| #3 Doroudi’s visa was revoked in June 2023, but the embassy didn’t provide a reason and ignored his inquiries, Bajgani said. The university told him he could stay as long as he remained a student but that he would not be allowed to reenter the US if he left, she said. The University doesn't get to make that call |

| #2 His visa was revoked in 2023 - BEFORE Trump was elected. How is this Trump's fault? |
