Hundreds of international students in the US are getting an email from the US Department of State (DOS) asking them to self-deport owing to campus activism. Immigration attorneys’ contacted by TOI affirmed this development and added a few Indian students may also be at the receiving end of such emails – for something as innocuous as sharing a social media post.
It is not just international students who physically participated in campus activism but also those who shared or liked ‘anti-national’ posts that are the target of these emails, said an immigration attorney.
This crackdown is based on social-media reviews being conducted by DOS (which includes Consulate officials). Thus, even new student applications be it for an F (academic study visa), M (vocational study visa) or J (exchange visa) will also come under such social media scrutiny.
Applicants will be denied the opportunity to study in the US.
Nah you’re not going to victim-blame me as an American just for continuing to exist within my country of residence, while a minority leadership fucks us all over. Everything I do is pretty fuckin’ far from “sitting at the table with Nazis” in fact.
Minority leadership? Didn’t he win pretty conclusive on all fronts?
No. He won with 49.8% of the vote.
No, they fucking cheated. Of course they cheated, that’s their brand. Even if every poll said they were going to win by 50 points, they’d still cheat because they could.
@Eheran @RaoulDook no. Didn’t get 50% of the vote. Only 1.7% margin vs Harris. 11th smallest margin ever (including 5 negative, eg 2016).
When he claims a landslide it’s because he wants to claim he has a mandate.
TBH the numbers are really weird. Getting that small a margin but winning every swing state is not likely. And every county that flipped, flipped one way to him, which hasn’t happened since Hoover. Again, on that margin that’s quite the feat.
Plus he controls all three branches of government …. On very slim margins but control is control
@AA5B that’s why he’s pulled Stefanik back in - he needs *every* seat
Winning all the swing states, including the ones that always go blue, is super unusual. It felt weird at the time, and now it seems like it was more than just weird.
That’s all well and good, and you certainly shouldn’t be sharing details about “what you do” online. But I can’t exactly blame the rest of the world for lumping us all together until the tumor is excised.
I can. Believing that a country’s authoritarian government represents its citizens is the kind of ignorance other countries have always accused Americans of.
There’s probably nazis at their table right now
