US Visa Freeze for International Students Sparks Outrage and Uncertainty

The Trump administration's reported freeze on new student and exchange visas has sent shockwaves through the US education system. The pause, reportedly due to concerns about social media activity, has left many international students in limbo. "This is a devastating blow," said one student who had been planning to study in the US. The move has drawn criticism from those who argue it's a politically motivated attack on liberal universities. However, the administration maintains the pause is necessary to ensure national security. The situation highlights the growing tension between national security concerns and the vital role international students play in US higher education. The uncertainty surrounding the visa process underscores the need for clear and consistent policies to support international students.
