Three UL students have had their visas revoked, officials confirm.
Earlier Tuesday, the Louisiana Illuminator, an independent investigative newspaper based in New Orleans, reported that 16 international students at Louisiana universities have had their permission to attend school in the United States revoked by the Trump administration.
We reached out to UL, and they confirmed that three visas had been terminated, but they were unable to comment further because of federal privacy laws.
The Illuminator reported that seven Southern University students, two at Southern University at New Orleans, three at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, two at the University of New Orleans and two more at Tulane University have had their visas pulled, according to representatives with the schools.
