International students at Fordham University whose visas were revoked during the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown have now had their status reinstated, along with at least 16 of the 17 affected CUNY students.
While students generally did not receive explanations as to why their legal status had been revoked, some believe it was a consequence of their pro-Palestinian activism — which the Trump administration considers a national security threat — whereas the reasons for others were unclear to the schools and students.
