President Trump is under fire for his lackluster response to Russia's war in Ukraine, despite his bold claims of a swift resolution. At the same time, Secretary of State Marco Rubio's crackdown on international students from China—revoking visas and halting new applications—threatens to weaken U.S. higher education and its vital economic impact.

International students are grappling with mounting legal hurdles as the Trump administration tightens immigration policies. While recent lawsuits have halted some visa revocations, uncertainty looms. The State Department's heightened scrutiny of Chinese scholars raises concerns about national security. Legal experts stress the urgency for advocacy and support to protect students' futures amidst these challenges.
