Amid heightened immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump, US universities have been quietly guiding foreign students on how to navigate legal threats, including potential deportation over minor offenses and participation in pro-Palestinian protests, Reuters reported.

Following the arrests and visa terminations that affected thousands of overseas students, university advisors urged them to stay enrolled and seek legal advice.

According to Reuters, this effort has paid off, with the Trump administration recently restoring visa registrations for individuals affected since late March, following a string of successful legal challenges by students.
