US universities warn foreign students amid concerns over Trump's plans on immigration: Report

Hindustan Times  

Amid concerns over Donald Trump's immigration and mass deportation plans, international students and staff have been advised by US universities to return to campus before the President-elect's inauguration in January, BBC reported. The President-elect's "border czar" Tom Homan had also announced that the Trump administration would focus on increasing workplace raids as part of its immigration enforcement strategy. As a result of uncertainty around immigration, students are highly overwhelmed and stressed out right now, Prof East told BBC, adding, “A lot of students have concerns about their visas and whether they'll be allowed to continue their education.” US Universities send advisories Yale University, meanwhile, had its Office of International Students and Scholars host a webinar this month over the concerns of students about the possible changes in the immigration policy. The University of Massachusetts in November issued a travel advisory to its international students and staff, asking them to "strongly consider" returning to campus from their winter break before Donald Trump takes office on January 20.
