The University of Massachusetts Amherst said Friday that five international students enrolled at the school have had their visas revoked by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). 

“The university has learned that, throughout the course of this week and as of tonight, five international students have had their visas revoked and student statuses terminated by the federal government,” UMass Chancellor Javier Reyes said in a letter posted to the university website. 

“I regret sending this news so late on a Friday; given that we learned of some of these revocations this evening, I felt it important to share this troubling news at this time.”

And in late March, an Iranian doctoral student at the University of Alabama, whose visa had been revoked in 2023, was arrested in the middle of the night. 

Although his visa was revoked, he was told he could stay in the U.S. while he remained a student, his lawyer said.

The Department of Homeland Security said the student, Alireza Doroudi, “posed significant national security concerns.” 

Last month, Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish Ph.D. student at Tufts University in Massachusetts, was arrested by immigration officers after she wrote an anti-Israel op-ed for the campus newspaper.
