The students were detained by Customs and Border Protection officials "over the last week," the university said in a statement Friday. The students were "denied admission to the U.S. to continue their studies" and were sent back to China, ASU said.

"We are working as quickly as possible to coordinate with the federal government to understand the circumstances surrounding these actions and to rectify the situation," ASU said.

ASU said it has not been able to get answers on why the students were detained and sent back. When contacted by The Arizona Republic, customs officials responded that it was after regular business hours, so they couldn't immediately comment.

News outlets have reported delays and problems with visas for international students from other countries under the Trump administration. The New York Times reported students from various countries were facing issues with visas.

1. O great. Now the fucker is gonna start raiding US China towns.

He had a college student from Jordan? Lebanon? turned away last week. So this is obvious racism.
the implications of how far they can go with this policy are chilling, tho.

4. Three new airport security lines. Form 3 lines! Brown skin, White skin, White Supremacist Line.

Brown skin = probably detained.
White skin = scrutinized.
White Supremacist Line = no checks, enter freely.

3. This happened under BushII also. Some of my students from Canada had trouble

There was a drop in foreign students applying to US schools.

There was a massive protest by US colleges and universities.

Don't thinkmTrump and gang would care,

5. tRump and his gang don't give a damn. Would probably seal the borders if they could.

Amazing how congress, as a body, sits on their asses. All this sums up to be a democracy that is failing by intention by the GOP.

6. If you're not from Norway, you gotta go.

8. Everyone from Norway use this easy entry line! "Hey, there are no people from Norway coming to the

US anymore. What's going on? They don't like the US? They don't love tRump? ??? They aren't coming?"

9. USA:Contagious gun violence, insane President. What's not to like?

7. The Chinese buy a lot of real estate here as investment properties, but also to house their

children who are students in this country. If this becomes a trend, I wouldn't be surprised to see the parents start selling off their properties and investing elsewhere. That could be a big problem for our real-estate market.

10. Definitely! Unintended consequences. The GOP is making the US a very disliked nation.

Being welcoming is now a joke. What a shame.

11. the whole contingent at LAX needs to be replaced.

this is so bad. so fucking bad. i'm from LA. why?!

[RKP5637]

12. It's frightening how all of this is treated just business as usual, such a bad reputation for

the US. At minimal, they should have an explanation immediately available as to why they were sent back to China.

13. based on another story out of LAX recently,

my guess is the people didn't like their looks. they're apparently a renegade unit of nazis over there.
