US cancels visas of 1,500 students

Washington: The visas of about 1,500 students in the United States have been canceled, and the reason has also been revealed.

According to a Gulf media report, US immigration has canceled the visas of about 1,500 students so far, most of whom are students who participated in pro-Palestinian protests.

The report said that the visas of other people who were indirectly in contact with Palestine were also canceled, while some of them supported Gaza on social media.

According to a Gulf media report, the US government alleges that these students were involved in anti-Semitism and supported Hamas on campus.

The report said that students, lawyers, and social activists rejected these claims by the US government.

According to a Gulf media report, the US Secretary of State had asked for the visas of 300 students to be canceled at the end of March, but the number of students affected by the visa cancellation is much higher.

The Immigration Lawyers Association says that 4,700 students have been removed from the US immigration database Sys.

On the other hand, according to the American higher education journal Inside Higher Education, as of April 17, 1,489 students had their visas revoked, and student visas were canceled at 240 universities and colleges across the United States. The affected educational institutions include private institutions like Harvard and Stanford.

Ohio State University, the University of Maryland, and some liberal arts colleges are also included.

According to the Gulf newspaper, the US Secretary of State had said on March 28 that we are not importing workers, they have come here to study, to attend classes, they have not come here to lead movements that destroy our universities.
