Trump Administration's Immigration Crackdown: Targeting International Students

Federal authorities have detained an international student from Tufts University amid a broader crackdown on immigration policies by President Trump's administration. This move builds on recent actions against foreign individuals at several U.S. universities, amid allegations of supporting militant groups.

An international student from Tufts University has been taken into custody by federal authorities, resulting in the revocation of their visa, according to a university statement on Tuesday night. The student's apprehension occurred at an off-campus residence in Somerville, Massachusetts, but details remain sparse.

Efforts to reach representatives from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other agencies for comments were unsuccessful. The student's legal counsel has yet to respond.

This action is part of a larger initiative under President Donald Trump's administration aimed at clamping down on immigration. Targets have included foreign students perceived to support militant organizations, with high-profile cases involving students from Columbia University and a Lebanese academic from Brown University this month.
