Oh my God. The email contains an implied threat that any student who doesn’t immediately leave might be sent to El Salvador.
/technically it says “countries other than their countries of origin,” but the context right now, given everything going on, makes the threat clear.

How are people supposed to follow the law if there isn’t a) a law (not just an EO🙄), b) notice of the law, & c) timeline for when it’s in effect?
Hope this gets pounded in court
I’m referring to this one (acknowledging it’s very hard to keep up with all the flying cases right now) : https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-judge-blocks-trump-administration-fast-tracking-deportations-2025-03-28/
The age of US superiority is over.
And unconstitutional!!!!
Not under normal circumstances, right now.
Can they even do so safely without falling into the detention system with the ultimate threat being permanently held in an El Salvadoran concentration camp?
This is a phenomenal chance for Canada, the UK, France, etc. to pick up an entire cadre of phenomenal grad students.
US colleges should be finding partners abroad to let their students finish. They should be working with other governments to guarantee visas.
Too many, though, are instead being like Columbia—servile at their students’ expense.
This is 💯 about destroying 🇺🇲 & our reputation.
We are being fucked left right and center and forced back into the stone ages. Regressive politics isn't even descriptive enough, this is slash and burn towards autocracy.
But to do this mid-semester is even more cruel. Hope universities are helping w/ economics of tuition, room/ board, credits, etc…
The purpose of this purge is a display of blatant fascist domination to stoke fear and intimidation and silence any opposition.

Only difference is the usage of planes instead of trains...
Terrifying!
Anecdotally, when I was in school it wasn't unheard of for a student to overstay their visa, they just had to be sure to get a new one before they needed to get back into this country.
They are sending these kids there to die.
And then they wonder why we call them fucking Nazis.
IANAL but Due Process is one of the foundational precepts of the US Constitution and applies to everyone with the jurisdiction of the US and its territories.
I really hope there is, however strict, because if there isn't then that means ICE are probably already working to get as many of these students as possible into cages before they can make it to a port.

…hoping it is, less hopeful it will stay that way

You guys can’t see yourselves at all, can you?
If someone committed vandalism, charge that person with that crime. Don't revoke the visas of everyone tangentially related to the movement and pull them off of the street.
Likewise green cards.
You are a guest in this country; behave accordingly.

Brilliant move by our fearless leader. If I'm not mistaken, this will make this crisis twice as bad. Right as boomers really start crashing, too.
Is there anything good administration does that isn't impacted by their sheer laziness?
This is about white supremacy, pure and simple.
And one person doing the shooting is now a maga conservative darling?
They are doing things like this to draw us out so they can say it’s violent and declare martial law.
Wth is this!?
What's really wild - given their history of being oppressed - is that the Jewish fascists genuinely don't believe the Christo-fascists will eventually come for them, too.
It is frightening- parents may be telling their children to get home asap
This US administration has to be stopped- less than 2 years- midterms- and the courts have to hold.
Especially the SCOTUS
Just kidding. The smart play is to GTFO ASAP.
