Four students and two recent graduates had their student visas revoked, the University announced Friday.

On April 4, the Stanford Immigration website released the news after a routine checkup of their Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) database.

According to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the SEVIS system maintains information on students on F-1, M-1 or J-1 visas given to students to attend Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP)-certified schools, including Stanford.

The Daily has reached out to the University and Bechtel International Center for comment.

The news follows a flurry of student visas being revoked at universities across the country. At Minnesota State University in Mankato, five international student visas were revoked Friday for unknown reasons. Students on other campuses, including Columbia University, were targeted for their history of pro-Palestinian activism. 

The announcement follows rumors of ICE agents on campus earlier Friday afternoon that were quickly dispelled.

The University stated on the immigration website that they “are not currently aware of the details of the revocations or the reasons for them. [They] also are not aware of any presence of immigration authorities on campus today.”

On the anonymous social media site Fizz, one student posted that many Chinese student visas seemed to be cancelled Friday, citing a RedNote post.

The revocations come amidst investigations by Congress into Chinese national students requesting information on their previously attended universities, sources of tuition funding and current involvement in Stanford research and programs.
