Harvard Students Fear for Future Amidst Trump's Actions

Harvard Graduate Students Express Anxiety Over Trump's Actions. Cambridge, Massachusetts—Uncertainty hangs heavy over Harvard University's international student population following a recent federal court ruling. President Trump's previous attempt to limit foreign student enrollment, coupled with his demand for student names, has left many students, like Aleksandra Conevska, feeling anxious about their future in the US. "It's very disorienting to have to think about whether or not I'm welcome here," Conevska shared in an interview. Another student, Walid Akef, expressed similar concerns, stating, "We're all panicking. This is not a small thing; my wife is on a J2 visa, and we're expecting a baby." The court's decision, while temporarily halting the administration's actions, has not eliminated the underlying anxieties. The students' stories highlight the broader impact of political decisions on the lives of international students and their families, underscoring the need for clear and consistent immigration policies.
