Universities and campus newspapers are increasingly focused on informing international students about their rights and the risks associated with pursuing journalism in the current political climate. The Trump administration's systematic attacks on press freedoms and international students have prompted institutions like New York University's journalism department to hold seminars discussing First Amendment rights. With reports of noncitizen detainments and visa revocations, professors are concerned about possible government retaliation against students who express dissenting views. Efforts are underway to ensure that students are aware of their protections while navigating this volatile environment.
As part of a broader push against immigration that has included ICE raids, the detainments of tourists and deportations to a maximum security prison in El Salvador, the Trump administration revoked the visas of hundreds of international students over the past few months.
Charles Seife noted that the second Trump administration has proven to be more organized and systematic in its attacks, leading his department to keep students informed about their rights.
