The president of a southern Minnesota university that saw one of its students detained by federal immigration authorities last week says five other students have had their visas terminated. Minnesota State University-Mankato President Edward Inch told the student government Wednesday night that those students "will need to return to their country of origin at some point between zero and 60 days." The student who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement is still in custody, Inch said.
Main Idea: Minnesota State University-Mankato says five international students had their visas terminated, while President Edward Inch says the university is trying to support students and get answers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Key Points:
Visa terminations and ICE detentions can disrupt students, families, and campus jobs, and they may make immigrant communities more afraid and less likely to study or work.
University and legal support may help affected students understand their rights and reduce confusion if rules are applied unevenly.
