I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped
I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

So thankful for my Austrian, Czech, German, & Ukrainian Fulbrights. Recently spent time helping evaluate Ukrainian Fulbright proposals. What kind of anti-intellectual know-nothings would put this spectacular program on hold? A plague on akk your houses until the seventh generation.
Trump & his morons have stranded students all across the globe and put the 80-year-old Fulbright program on hold. Funding has been cut off to 12,500 US citizens currently abroad and more than 7,400 foreigner scholars & students in the United States.

Study Abroad Funding Is Paused, Leaving Some Students Stranded
The Trump administration stopped State Department funding for scholarships like the Fulbright. Weeks later, it is still unclear when it may resume.
