International Students in Limbo
International students studying in the United States have found themselves in the cross-hairs of many current federal policies and strategies. A majority of international students hail from Asian nations, the rate of those arriving from Sub-Saharan Africa is growing at the fastest rate, and Latinx students make up more than half of those who are undocumented and now increasingly being treated as international, despite having lived in the United States for many years. From travel bans to visa revocations, punitive measures against campus protests and cuts in federal funding of research, recent actions have made the position of all these students quite precarious.
