RISD Student’s Visa Revoked Amid Trump Crackdown

RISD Student’s Visa Revoked Amid Trump Crackdown
SHARE

An international student enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in Providence has recently had their visa terminated, according to a public letter from RISD President Crystal Williams. The student’s identity has been kept confidential for privacy reasons, and the school has refrained from providing further details, directing inquiries to Williams’s statement. The Office of International Students and Scholar Affairs at RISD discovered that the student’s international status had been marked as “terminated,” prompting the school to reach out to the student to assist in identifying potential legal resources.

Williams expressed concern over the student’s visa termination and highlighted the broader issue of legal status revocations affecting numerous international students across the United States. The reasons behind the student’s visa termination remain undisclosed to RISD, but the school is closely monitoring the situation amid changing guidance and policies. Williams described the news as personally and professionally impactful, emphasizing the heartbreaking nature of the student’s situation.

Recent weeks have witnessed a series of international student visa terminations and arrests following the Trump administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestine activism on college campuses. RISD issued a communication advising visa holders and permanent residents within the community to reconsider or revise travel plans that may require re-entry into the U.S. The school’s Students for Justice in Palestine (RSJP) chapter, known for organizing advocacy events, including a building occupation last year, has not been confirmed as being connected to the affected student.

In response to the visa revocation, an organizer with RSJP, identified as Jo, condemned the action as an attack on the immigrant and international student community at RISD. Jo highlighted the significant percentage of international students within the undergraduate population and called for resistance against what was perceived as fascist attacks from the Trump administration. The demand was made for RISD administration to support the affected communities and refuse compliance with ICE and Trump’s directives.

The situation underscores the challenges faced by international students in the current political climate, raising concerns about the impact of policy changes on academic communities. The need for solidarity and advocacy to protect the rights of all students, regardless of nationality, remains a critical priority for institutions like RISD.
