Two international students studying in the U.S. reacted on Tuesday to the decision by the government that they will have to leave the country if their classes are all taught online this fall, with one student saying he was crying upon hearing the news because he would face difficulty, both in returning home due to no flights and in school due to internet capacity in his home country of Venezuela. Another student from the Bahamas said while her school is offering in-person classes, she was cautioned it could change due to a local COVID-19 outbreak, which she worries would prevent her from completing her MBA.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said it would not allow holders of student visas to remain in the country if their school was fully online for the fall. ICE said these students must transfer to schools that teach in-person classes or leave, or they potentially face deportation proceedings.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to hit the U.S., with cases passing three million, colleges and universities have begun to announce plans for the fall 2020 semester, with Harvard stating it would conduct course instructions online, while Eastern Kentucky University plans to hold classes in-person.
