If Class Moves Online, International Students Must Switch Schools or Leave US

Summary from the AllSides News Team

New rules issued Monday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will require international college students to leave the U.S. or seek enrollment at different institutions if their schools shift to online-only learning this fall. Left- and center-rated sources have focused more on the news, which comes as debates over when and how to reopen schools gain momentum. Some left-rated voices framed the rule change as a deliberate anti-immigrant stand on the part of President Donald Trump. Some coverage from right-rated outlets sought to explain why the rules were implemented. Other reports concentrated specifically on how students from certain nations may be disproportionately affected by the rule.

Trump administration's planned purge of international students serves a cruel purpose
Opinion

This week, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced new rules requiring international students to leave the United States if their colleges or universities institute online-only learning measures for the fall under the threat of Covid-19.

It's another disgusting, transparent Trump administration attack on foreigners and immigrants, one that is solely about malice -- and one that further diminishes the United States' influence and reputation while putting human life at risk.

With Covid-19 infections still raging across the country and on the rise in multiple states, colleges, universities and vocational programs...
