Under the new Trump administration, many international students who study in the U.S. under legal visas are finding their visas canceled without warning and sometimes detained or deported.
Many of the students face this because they spoke out on their college campuses, sometimes in the student newspaper, about what they perceive to be wrongful actions taken by governments across the globe.
NWOSU, to our knowledge, has not faced any such problems. However, we recognize the chilling affects these deportation actions can have on student media throughout our country, even if none of their students face deportation.
Today, we offer a few of the editorials, letters and columns written by student journalists at universities where they have been touched by these deportations. The pieces were edited for length or paraphrased as indicated.
