This article discusses the recent crackdown by the Trump administration on international students in the U.S. More than a thousand students have had their visas revoked or legal status terminated, leading to uncertainty and fear among these individuals. Some students have faced temporary reprieves through court orders, but the situation remains precarious for many. One student, Anjan Roy, from Bangladesh, experienced a sudden termination of his legal status while studying at Missouri State University. He was initially in shock and feared deportation, but a court ruling restored his status temporarily. Despite this, he still feels anxious and is taking precautions, such as asking his roommates to screen visitors. The reasons for the students' status revocation are unclear, with some involved in minor infractions or facing unspecified allegations. The government's actions have caused significant mental and financial suffering for many students, affecting their academic progress and mental health. Roy's future in the U.S. is now uncertain, as he had plans to pursue research opportunities and potentially teach at an American university. His parents in Bangladesh are worried about his safety and considering options in other countries. The situation has raised concerns about the treatment of international students in the U.S. and the impact on their academic and professional aspirations. The article highlights the challenges and fears faced by these students as they navigate a precarious legal landscape.
