How can they even do this, they have a VISA they're attending the schools classes, how does ICE suddenly get to dictate that it must be in-person classes?

This is some seriously blatant nationalist shit to try to just get rid of foreigners, Like I said on a different post first it was they didn't want illegal immigrants, then they didn't want "bad" immigrants, supposedly the good immigrants were ok, but now suddenly college students that were forced into online only semesters are also not wanted?

Good schools should do something about this like have 99% online classes, with a "check-in class" that counts as in-person attendance, or something to protect these students.

How can they even do this? - The visas are so they can attend class. If classes are online, there's no need for the visa as they can take the class from home. Not that hard to understand.

"Good schools" - Ha.
