Trump administration revokes visas of 2 current, 5 former international students at Carnegie Mellon

The federal crackdown on international students has impacted at least one local university. James H. Garrett, the provost of Carnegie Mellon University, sent a letter to students and staff Monday informing them that the student visas of two current students and five recent graduates had been revoked, and their records in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System were terminated.

In the letter, Garrett acknowledged the news is "creating anxiety and disruption for many and has directly impacted a subset of our community." He said that CMU's Office of International Education reached out to the students directly to offer support and connect them with information about legal resources. The office has also published FAQs about federal immigration enforcement and a communication urging international students to weigh risks before traveling out of the country.
