An AI doctoral candidate in California says they had their student visa revoked

An AI doctoral student in California faces deportation after their SEVIS record was terminated, despite having no criminal history. This incident reflects a broader Trump-era crackdown targeting over 1,000 international students, often due to minor infractions or administrative errors. Colleges are left un-notified, leaving students vulnerable. Experts warn this hardline approach is harming the US's appeal as a research hub and threatening its leadership in AI innovation, while also impacting the economy.
