The Trump administration’s stringent measures are aimed at foreign students in US campuses, employing AI surveillance, visa cancellations, and ideological scrutiny to suppress perceived opposition. This crackdown, in the guise of fighting antisemitism and upholding “order,” is pressuring universities to monitor speech, disband academic initiatives, and adhere to politically motivated requests—or face severe funding reductions. Previously embraced as academics, international students are now at risk of being detained, expelled, and digitally tracked for minimal activism or online posts. What initially started as policy adherence has now evolved into a complete reconstruction of academic liberties, immigration standards, and the essence of US higher education.
