During the second presidency of Donald Trump, the United States has pursued a policy of targeting political dissidents, particularly pro-Palestinian international students and academics, for deportation.[1][2][3][4] As of April 17, 2025, over 1,000 international students and graduates had had their visas revoked or their status terminated,[5] and by May 15, 2025 almost 2,000 student visas had been canceled, though many had been restored by courts.[6] Many of the visas were revoked based on minor violations such as speeding tickets, and only a handful may have been related to political targeting.[6] Unsealed court depositions have revealed extensive use of the website Canary Mission by the Trump administration to identify pro-Palestinian activists for deportation and the heavy involvement of Trump aide Stephen Miller.[7]
