International college students relieved, but remain cautious about ICE’s rescinded rule
Following outcries from students and push-back from colleges around the country, ICE’s Student and Exchange Visitor Program announced Tuesday that it would rescind a rule that would force international students to go home if fall courses were held online.
Local students said they were relieved.
It was a “breath of fresh air†and has likely saved him a lot of hassle and money, said Cameron Flowers, a graduate student at Texas Southern University in Houston. Last week’s announcement, however, felt like “a slap in the face†to so many international students, he said.
Flowers, originally from Nassau in the Bahamas, was weighing his options when the July 6 announcement came from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
