Trump is Targeting Colorado College Students. What Do We Know So Far?

International students from Colorado State University in Fort Collins and the University of Colorado’s Boulder and Colorado Springs campuses recently had their visas revoked by the U.S Department of Homeland Security. But reasoning for the revocations remains unclear, and the schools have not provided much information on the status of their students. Denver Post reporter Elizabeth Hernandez sits down with host Bree Davies to talk through what we know about the students so far and share what immigration law experts see in these unprecedented cases of visa revocation. 

What do you think? Are you an international student living in Colorado or know someone who is? We want to hear from you. You can choose to remain anonymous — text or leave us a voicemail 720-500-5418‬.
