Federal immigration officials are rescinding the legal status of some international students, using rarely invoked powers. Cases of revoked student visas have raised concerns among international students in the United States, who are now afraid of being targeted. Student visas, typically F-1 visas, provide legal protections to international students, but these rights can be superseded by the federal government. Students on visas have the same basic constitutional protections as U.S. citizens, but their immigration status can be affected. Student visas can be revoked if students break the rules of their visa programs or are considered a public danger.
