www.leftvoice.org Twenty Visas Revoked at CUNY — Students and the Labor Movement Must Fight Back - Left VoiceTwenty international students at the City University of New York have had their visas revoked. Students and the labor movement, both in New York and beyond, must fight these attacks.
cross-posted from: https://hexbear.net/post/4572203
As of Thursday, April 10, 20 international students at the City University of New York (CUNY) have had their visas revoked by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

www.motherjones.com Why elite colleges aren't pushing back on Trump, and why silence is dangerousTheir caution, one expert notes, is "potentially fatal for the university as we know it."
America is witnessing an unprecedented series of attacks on higher education that commenced well before Donald Trump was re-elected, amid the contentious protests that followed Hamas’ attacks on Israel and Israel’s ruthless (and ongoing) retaliation on Gaza and its inhabitants.
But Trump, as president, has taken matters much further. Claiming antisemitism, his administration is revoking student visas and arresting students who have engaged in nonviolent protests or expressed opinions on social media or in innocuous op-eds. The government’s pauses, reviews, and cancellations of grants and contracts at
