- President Trump and his administration is cracking down on international students who have been active in protests against Israel on university campuses.
Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM
Last week, the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at least 300 students had their student visas revoked.
Trump officials said the Immigration and Nationality Act allows the State Department to deport non-citizens who are "adversarial to the foreign policy and national security interests" of the US.
The arrests are a part of Trump's pledge to combat what the administration has classified as antisemitism on university campuses, which was written into an executive order in January.
Nathalie Jimenez, our reporter in the US, takes us through what we know about two of the most prominent cases.

Fred’s first prototype was nearly as big as a dog kennel and made of wood and aluminium, with a chicken wire basket. It was only a partial success.
But Fred was certain he could make the machine work thanks to an idea he patented called rapid air technology.
Four years later, and after several more prototypes, Fred took his invention to the electronics company, Philips, and signed a deal.
Fred died of cancer in 2022 but his daughter Suus van der Weij witnessed the development of his invention. She tells Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty about the family’s pride in her father.

Now, imagine that journey was to space. NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore’s spacecraft launched in June last year from Cape Canaveral in Florida. They were taking part in the first crewed test flight of the Starliner spacecraft, developed by Boeing. But there were some technical problems after launch and NASA decided it was too risky to use it to take the astronauts back to Earth. Instead, Suni and Butch would catch the next scheduled flight home, which ended up being nine months later.
And now Suni and Butch have splashed down off the coast of Florida in a different spacecraft.

These videos are part of a wider trend of “passport bros” many of whom are American men, seeking life abroad in places marketed by content creators as being good for meeting women.
In theory, adult men going to meet adult women isn't a problem, but Medellin has a huge problem with sexual exploitation. It’s often nicknamed by the press as ‘the world’s biggest brothel’.
Since the pandemic the city has introduced curfews for underage girls in some neighbourhoods while NGOs there are working against the issue. BBC Trending investigates the impact of passport bros in Colombia’s second biggest city.
