Int’l students in Alabama fearful after detention of researcher with political ties
Clearing out low-hanging fruit: foreigners whose legal visas had previously been revoked, though for whatever reason they’d been allowed to stay on afterward.

Sama Ebrahimi Bajgani and her fiancé, Alireza Doroudi, had just spent an evening celebrating the Persian New Year at the University of Alabama when seven armed immigration officers came to their apartment before dawn and arrested Doroudi.

In a moment, the young couple’s life was upended. # id) ?>

3 Doroudi’s visa was revoked in June 2023, but the embassy didn’t provide a reason and ignored his inquiries, Bajgani said. The university told him he could stay as long as he remained a student but that he would not be allowed to reenter the US if he left, she said.

The University doesn't get to make that call

6 The University of Alabama didn’t comment on Doroudi’s case, but said it offers resources to help immigrants colonists shock troops on campus comply with federal law. It also offers guidance to students whose visas are revoked.
