,
, ‘As the administration of Donald Trump has launched a large-scale deportation of illegal immigrants, the British daily The Guardian reported on the 7th (local time) that dozens of cases have been identified where international students with minor legal infractions, such as speeding, had their visas canceled.’,
,
, ‘According to The Guardian, as of the 4th, it has been compiled that at least 39 student visas from various universities were canceled by the U.S. government without prior notice or clear explanation.’,
,
, ‘This figure includes cases disclosed by authorities from nine universities, including UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UC San Diego, and the number of students directly identifying as affected is much higher, with the number of universities reaching up to 50.’,
,
, ‘Their visas were canceled around the 4th, and many had records of minor legal violations such as fines or penalties.’,
,
, “The Guardian reported that the U.S. government’s notification of visa cancellation to a female student through her school’s authorities contained the phrase, ‘listed in criminal records or has a history of visa cancellation.'”,
,
, ‘An immigration lawyer in California noted, “I received a call from a student on the 3rd and first became aware of such a case, thinking it was a one-off incident, but several similar reports were received the following day on the 4th.”‘,
,
, ‘The lawyer explained, “The students had no opportunity to explain their situation,” suggesting the government broadly canceled visas based solely on the presence of a name in criminal-related records, without regard to the actual circumstances.’,
,
, ‘The Guardian reported specific cases such as visas being canceled even after charges were dropped following an explanation of an incident involving a dispute, and another case where an accident occurred at an intersection while performing a U-turn with an expired driver’s license.’,
