Dear UWM students,  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have likely seen news reports about actions affecting international students\u2019 status across the country, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detentions and visa revocations. We are not aware of any detentions involving UWM-affiliated individuals or any federal law enforcement activity on campus. As of this morning, April 11, we are aware of 13 UWM international students and recent graduates whose visas have been revoked or their status terminated. UWM played no role in these revocations or terminations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The precise rationale for these terminations is unclear. There is no reason to believe the terminations are specific to participation in free speech events or political activity.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UWM\u2019s Center for International Education has been or will be in contact with all affected individuals to support them as they can. In addition, CIE has proactively sent communications to all international students to remind them of available resources. While CIE cannot provide legal advice, immigration coordinators are taking appointments with students and can refer individuals to legal resources upon request. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Universities of Wisconsin have a newly expanded FAQ<\/a> for both international students and faculty and staff on the UWs Federal Updates website<\/a>. They will continue to add additional information on visas, travel and non-citizen rights. Professional staff on UWM\u2019s International Student and Scholar Services team are in communication with colleagues to share how best to support our international students.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We encourage students to use the resources available, if needed, through the Student Health and Wellness Center<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UWM continues to closely monitor developments regarding immigration and will provide current information on UWM\u2019s Federal Updates webpage<\/a>, which also includes the latest updates shared by the UWs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Mone  
Chancellor <\/p>\n\n\n\n
