US universities are warning international students to return before Donald Trump’s inauguration, fearing immigration policy changes. Trump plans mass deportations, prioritizing violent criminals and national security threats, but uncertainties worry higher education.

Travel advisories from universities like MIT and Yale highlight visa concerns. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and students from countries with strained US relations feel particularly vulnerable.

In 2017, Trump banned nationals from several nations and proposed student visa limits, causing widespread distress. Institutions are bracing for similar policies. Students from China and Japan voice fears about their academic futures, expressing anxiety over potentially stricter immigration rules.

Australia Proposes Paying Countries to Accept 'Undeportable' Migrants

Australia

#immigration

#deported

The Albanese government plans to pay countries to accept convicted criminals who cannot be deported. This is part of a new immigration package merging three bills. It includes returning non-citizens to detention once accepted by another country and imposing penalties for non-cooperation.

The package allows the confiscating of detainees' phones and bans visits from countries refusing citizen returns. Human rights groups label the measures discriminatory and harsh. Critics warn of potential legal challenges and impacts on detainees' freedoms.

Labor’s proposal follows a High Court ruling deeming indefinite detention unconstitutional. Advocates argue it threatens basic rights and isolates detainees further. Debate is scheduled in the Senate this week.
