Universities must fight COLLECTIVELY! Rightwing anti-intellectual repression. Over 1,000 student visas terminated. Understand: deportation policy-- not about El Salvadoran criminal gangs (pretext).Xenophobia, yes. But more important: Rightwing hostility aim: subjugation of the educational sphere.

I suspect they are not the only Missouri institutions of higher education that have students with their visas revoked. Is NWMSU the only Missouri institution willing to shout about it?

No. It is happening at Missouri State and at Central Missouri state

What about the UM System? The larger enrollments in the flagship and urban campuses certainly include students on visas. Are they doing anything to protect their students? Do you think there is anything they can do at least to persuade our Representatives and Senators to do their jobs?

Josh Hawley?

Right but perhaps some members of say, the Board of Curators might have more influence over Hawley and Schmidt. Assuming they wished to do so, of course, but it's possible since this directly hits their stewardship because it affects the bottom line.

Rubio is the one that actually revoked them. Yes, in alignment with Trumps orders. While Trump will claim immunity, Rubio can be held accountable to his crimes of violating the constitution.

“Due process was one of the most important demands of the founding fathers of America. The loss is a total and complete abrogation of the Constitution.

There is literally no constitution without it. No rights. No such thing as citizenship. No laws. No government.”

At this point I would just like to know where the group therapy chat is for all of us to work through our feels and make some coordinated plans for apocalypse lawyering.
