The wildest thing I read was: > Harvard will immediately report to federal authorities, including the Department of Homeland Security and State Department, any foreign student, including those on visas and with green cards, who commits a conduct violation. Conduct violations at Universities are a pretty broad set of rules at universities and don't necessarily line up with what's legal or not but more with the university's cultural and social norms.

Another good one, "Reforming Programs with Egregious Records of Antisemitism or Other Bias .. The programs, schools, and centers of concern include:" > Harvard Divinity School > Graduate School of Education > School of Public Health > Medical School > Carr Center for Human Rights at the Harvard Kennedy School > Harvard Law School International Human Rights Clinic (partial list) I must have missed the time when the Medical School racked up a record of egregious antisematism.

Some of those international students with their visas revoked apparently only had traffic violations according to what I read in the Texas Tribune. They are going after any level of law breaking in order to match their stated goal of kicking out criminals, since they are having trouble reaching the numbers promised in campaign speeches.

    I misremembered - it was in the source for a sentence in the Texas Tribune article six days ago: https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/education/article/legal-status-foreign-students-texas-a-m-ut-20267377.php https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/educatio... Those are just the ones where they think they have an answer about why. ICE just refused to respond to requests for specifics otherwise.

      From what I can tell, it all boils down to one of two things: - Criminal activity - Support of Hamas

        I’ve only seen one person expelled for support of Hamas with evidence - the doctor who went to a funeral in Lebanon of the Hamas leader assassinated in past year. The administration was super proud of that one. Show me evidence of anyone else that has any association with Israel/Palestine conflict protests that actually support Hamas. It does not have to be an either or proposition - one can be against Israel killing civilians and against Hamas. And for other arbitrary decisions there’s several examples of people expelled for gang activity who simply had tattoos.
