International students in the US are confronting heightened anxiety as they return to campus amid ongoing immigration policy shifts. Many are re-evaluating their futures in the United States, with some prioritizing leaving after their degrees. Students express worries about traveling through US borders and potential detainment during inspections, even with necessary documents. Concerns about being caught in policy changes have contributed to a sense of unease among these students, who often feel uneasy and scared despite being law-abiding and following necessary precautions.
One student from Singapore, who attends college in Columbus, Ohio, expressed their concern stating, 'I am a law-abiding person and make sure I avoid being near protests... I still am scared about being taken.'
Andre Fa'aoso from New Zealand highlighted his anxiety, saying, 'I might wake up to find Yale at the center of a feud with the administration, with my right to study and remain in the US used as a pawn to leverage concessions.'
