At least 13 students from the University of Wisconsin (UW) have recently experienced the revocation of their visas, attributed to actions by the “Trump MAGA regime,” according to State Senator Kelda Roys, a Democratic representative from Madison. Roys, who speaks for a constituency inclusive of UW, issued a statement on the situation, expressing her concerns.
Roys stated, “In Madison, we celebrate the courage it takes to come study in the United States to build a better life and advance human knowledge. Our community is a welcoming, innovative, and thriving place, because we attract the world’s best and brightest, who help tackle some of our most challenging problems.” She highlighted the significance of an inclusive environment that welcomes international scholars.
She further criticized the administration’s actions by asserting, “All of us must stand up to the Republican Regime’s lawless, unconstitutional, and un-American actions to abduct, arrest, and kick out, and intimidate international students, legal permanent residents, and others, without due process of law. This is unacceptable and we must unite in opposing it.”
The statement was disseminated to the public by her office on April 8, 2025.
