We already know of over 1,000 student visa terminations. The true number is likely significantly higher. Very few have anything to do with pro-Palestinian advocacy. The overwhelming majority seem to be the result of automated terminations for any contact with law enforcement, no matter how minor.
There are specific regulatory and procedural requirements to end a student’s legal status, attorneys say.

But the basis for the vast majority of terminations—including traffic violations and other misdemeanor issues—wouldn’t meet them, they say. And students aren’t getting a chance to respond.

"And when they turned him over they were surprised there was no gun. I mean he must have done something, or else why would he have run."
