UW didn’t learn of the visa cancelations until the university checked the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), which contains international student records. The university told it checks SEVIS every day so it can proactively contact students about changes in status.

Chair of Washington State Democratic Party dismayed聽by revoked visas

Chair of the Washington State Democratic Party, Shasti Conrad, called the Trump administration’s actions “cruel and wrong” in a statement Tuesday.

“Today鈥檚 actions by the Trump administration stripping visas from international students at the University of Washington without warning or cause pose insurmountable barriers to the education of these students and the academic community at one of our nation鈥檚 foremost research institutions,” she stated. “These actions are cruel and wrong. I applaud the University of Washington for offering these students legal and mental health resources and call upon our elected leaders to do everything possible to protect these students and ensure they receive the due process they are entitled to under the U.S. Constitution.”

Conrad then called out Washington Republicans.

“Republicans in Congress are abdicating their responsibility to provide oversight and accountability to this lawless administration, and it is up to the rest of us to ensure these abuses are recorded and opposed,” she continued.

According to the SEVIS database, the visas of the nine UW-connected individuals鈥攆ive active students and four recent graduates currently in post-graduate training鈥攚ere canceled due to an immigration status violation.

“No additional information or details were provided, but we have no indication these actions are due to activism or other protected free speech,” UW said in a prepared statement. “We are also not aware of any immigration officials coming to UW campuses related to this situation.”
