There is a bill from South Korea and another from Nepal. They are gifts from his friends, students from other countries who came to the United States to attend college and potentially pursue the American Dream.

In the last few weeks, that dream has been shattered for many students across Missouri, including at Southeast Missouri State University, where my son has made friends with students from Bangladesh, India, and several Asian countries.

In a series of actions disrupting the American immigration system, President Trump has revoked thousands of student visas 鈥� 鈥� deported students who have committed no crimes, and struck fear in the hearts of young men and women who were recruited to this country by the universities they attend.

Now, many of them are fighting back.

Last week, a federal judge in Missouri blocking the government from suspending the visas of five Missouri students. They include a SEMO student from Nepal; a Nigerian student at the Missouri University of Science and Technology; a student from Bangladesh studying at Virginia Tech University; a student from Spain at Northwest Missouri State University; and a Nigerian student at Truman State University.

Similar lawsuits have been filed across the country as students and universities try to navigate the chaos created by Trump鈥檚 executive orders, many of which, the suits allege, violate U.S. immigration law.

The students 鈥渇ace irreparable harm,鈥� U.S. District Judge Stephen R. Bough found in the case filed in the Western District of Missouri. 鈥淧laintiffs are in the middle of their studies or work programs, into which they have already invested significant time and money. Without an active (student visa) registration, they are at imminent risk of being forced to drop their studies or work programs courses. More broadly, Plaintiffs face the loss of the many years and thousands of dollars they have invested in pursuing their education.鈥�

Trump鈥檚 actions have fomented confusion on college campuses, with students hiding out in their dorm rooms and apartments, or skipping classes and job shifts as the spring semester comes to an end. Some have already been deported; others are left in fear.

St. 香港三级片 attorney Javad Khazaeli, who represents students in the U.S. on visas, said Trump鈥檚 ham-fisted approach was unnecessary and violated established law. Khazaeli is a former immigration prosecutor for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, so he鈥檚 been on both sides of the courtroom and understands the process of revoking a student visa.

鈥淲e are a country of laws. There are rules to revoking visas,鈥� Khazaeli says. 鈥淭he Trump administration violated those rules. It鈥檚 why virtually every judge, including Trump appointees, found against them.鈥�

The targeted students aren鈥檛 hardened criminals. Most have committed the sorts of minor infractions we expect college-age children to experience as they鈥檙e navigating adulthood. What makes the actions against them so confounding is that for years, American colleges 鈥� public and private 鈥� have been recruiting foreign students, including for the fact that most pay higher tuition.

Many of them stay to pursue their own version of the American dream. Take Vivek Malek. He came to Missouri from India, arriving in 2001 to earn a master鈥檚 in business administration from SEMO. He became a U.S. citizen and a lawyer, and he used that law degree to help other students come to SEMO.

鈥淚f a person who is not native to this country can come and make this country his own and achieve what he can, then anybody can,鈥� Malek after he became the treasurer of the state of Missouri in 2022.

Now, students following in Malek鈥檚 footsteps are being shown the door by the president Malek says he proudly stands with.

But the damage isn鈥檛 just to foreign students. It鈥檚 also to American students 鈥� like my son 鈥� who learn and grow because of their international counterparts. And it鈥檚 to the institutions trying to make America competitive in the world economy by offering a diverse student body a chance to compete.

Those universities are also under attack by Trump. Like the students, they鈥檙e waging a fight against a president who chose it with no clear purpose.

鈥淭he price of abridging the defining freedoms of American higher education will be paid by our students and our society,鈥� a group of more than 500 university presidents wrote Trump last week.

was St. 香港三级片 University President Fred Pestello.

鈥淥n behalf of our current and future students, and all who work at and benefit from our institutions, we call for constructive engagement that improves our institutions and serves our republic.鈥�

Trump has declared war on American universities and the students they serve.

It鈥檚 a fight the next generation won鈥檛 let him win.
