COLUMBUS, Ohio — In an interview with 10TV’s Doug Petcash on Thursday, U.S. Sen. Bernie Moreno spoke about the termination of some students’ visas in Ohio colleges.

At least seven students at The Ohio State University have had their F-1 visas revoked, according to a university spokesperson.

Ohio State President Walter “Ted” Carter Jr. said on Wednesday that the university was not formally notified of the federal government’s actions. The university was also not told why the students’ visas were revoked.

An F-1 visa is what students who wish to travel to the United States to study must obtain.

When asked about his thoughts on what’s happening with some international students and their visas, Moreno said while he doesn’t know the specific circumstances, he has “full faith and confidence” in the Department of Homeland Security under Kristi Noem.

While the university doesn’t have a role in these decisions, Carter says he wants clarity on what’s happening.

“Ohio State, after all, has long been – and will continue to be – proud to welcome students from all over the world, who add greatly to the life of our campuses and community. International students, visiting scholars and staff enrich the Ohio State experience for all, and we are a stronger university for their presence and contributions,” Carter said.

Moreno said Carter has not reached out to him.

“If he had concerns, I would certainly take his phone call and see if we made a mistake…” Moreno told Doug.

Moreno added that if there’s a concern, Ohio State can reach out to his office and if somebody feels like they shouldn’t have had that happen, they can reach out and his office will investigate it.

“These are thoroughly vetted decisions, these are not decisions that are made on the fly. Again, mistakes may be made, I don’t know that that’s the case here. I highly doubt it because we have very competent people finally running the Department of Homeland Security,” Moreno said.

The loss of the students’ visas comes as the Trump administration is cracking down on foreign students.

Many college officials worry the new approach will keep foreigners from wanting to study in the U.S.

Students stripped of their entry visas are receiving orders from the Department of Homeland Security to leave the country immediately — a break from past practice that often permitted them to stay and complete their studies.

Some students have been targeted over pro-Palestinian activism or criminal infractions — or even traffic violations. Others have been left wondering how they ran afoul of the government.
