The Trump administration has revoked hundreds of student visas in nearly every corner of the country as part of a vast immigration crackdown \u2013 and few universities know why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

More than 1,000 international students and recent graduates at more than 130 schools in the US have had their visas or statuses revoked in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System this year, according to university statements and spokespeople.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colleges and universities in 40 states have confirmed the visa and status termination of their students to CNN.

At Middle Tennessee State University, six students from countries in Asia, Europe and the Middle East had their visas revoked, according to university spokesperson Jimmy Hart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe University does not know the specific reason(s) for the visa status changes, only that they were changed within the federal database that monitors them,\u201d Hart said.

Several university statements said the government did not provide a reason for its actions. In most cases, universities discovered the visa revocations by checking the system. Only a handful of universities said they knew why their students\u2019 visas or SEVIS accounts were terminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the last few weeks, the US Department of Homeland Security has revoked the visa status of four international students at the UO based on unspecified criminal charges,\u201d said Eric Howald, a spokesperson for the University of Oregon. \u201cThe university was not informed in advance and has not been given details about the nature of the criminal charges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is unclear if all the students whose visas have been terminated have to immediately leave the country or can stay to continue their education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International students \u2013 including at prestigious American universities \u2013 have been targeted amid the Trump administration\u2019s larger immigration crackdown<\/a>. Cases have ranged from high-profile cases involving alleged support<\/a> of terror organizations to relatively minor offenses like years-old misdemeanors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Federal officials have not specified the reasons why many students\u2019 visas are being revoked, but Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said<\/a> that some behavior, including participating in protests, will not be tolerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019re here to go to class. They\u2019re not here to lead activist movements that are disruptive and undermine our universities,\u201d Rubio said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The University of California, Los Angeles, told CNN that 12 of its current or recent graduates were impacted by the terminations. \u201cThe termination notices indicate that all terminations were due to violations of the terms of the individuals\u2019 visa programs,\u201d the university\u2019s chancellor Julio Frenk said in a statement he sent to the university community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students sue the Trump administration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While many students have not received a straightforward answer from the White House and DHS about their status removal, a new federal lawsuit against the Trump administration seeks to stop student visa revocations and reinstate those that have already been revoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuit<\/a>, filed at the US District Court of Northern Georgia in Atlanta, currently includes the cases of 133 foreign nationals, including students from India, China, Colombia, Mexico and Japan, according to the complaint and Dustin Baxter, one of the filing attorneys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students are not identified by name in the complaint, but rather by a \u201cpseudonym due to fear of retaliation by Defendants.\u201d The lawsuit names three Trump administration officials as defendants: US Attorney General Pam Bondi, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Director Todd Lyons.

The complaint alleges that ICE has abruptly and unlawfully terminated the students\u2019 legal status in the United States \u201c(\u2026) stripping them of their ability to pursue their studies and maintain employment in the United States and risking their arrest, detention, and deportation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House and DHS have not responded to CNN\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The administration, the suit says, has terminated their status by removing the students from the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) used by the Department of Homeland Security to maintain information mainly regarding international students and their status in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In late March<\/a>, Rubio said that more than 300 visas, \u201cprimarily student visas, some visitor visas,\u201d had been revoked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most high-profile deportation case of foreign nationals accused of supporting terrorist organizations involves\u00a0Mahmoud Khalil<\/a>, a prominent Palestinian activist and Columbia graduate who is a legal permanent US resident through a green card.
