The Trump administration has used this pandemic to push through unpopular, discriminatory policies, such as ending protections for LGBTQ patients and closing US borders to those seeking asylum. In a latest display of unimaginable cruelty, ICE announced today that international students will face "immigration consequences" including "the initiation of removal proceedings" if they are taking classes online in the Fall. Considering that many college campuses are pivoting to online learning to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, this could be devastating for hundreds of thousands of students.
