🚨 ATTENTION: International Students & Scholars 🚨

The Trump administration has ramped up high-profile deportations, including the shocking removal of Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a Brown University professor, despite her valid H-1B visa. She was detained at Logan Airport and deported even after a federal judge ordered a halt to her removal.

In response, Brown University, Penn, and Columbia have issued urgent travel warnings, advising international students and faculty NOT to travel abroad or even domestically during spring break. There are growing concerns about new travel bans, stricter re-entry rules, and increased detentions at airports.

If you or someone you know is on a visa, check with your university before making any travel plans. The risks are real, and recent cases prove that even those with legal status are being targeted.
