Statewide: Concerns on campus

Numerous international students, including many in Illinois, have been told their visas are being revoked. In many cases, federal officials are erasing students’ immigration status without notifying school officials — and without informing students why the terminations occurred.

In the email, officials did not offer the student the opportunity to respond or appeal the termination. The notice said that remaining in the United States could result in fines, detention and deportation.

On this episode, we hear from one student who has since left the country and how the situation has left campuses unsure of the future.
