As US immigration policies evolve, Indian students face increasing challenges when aiming to study in the country. With rising visa rejections, stricter regulations, and heightened scrutiny over personal activities, the path to higher education in the US has become more complex. Key changes include visa revocations without notice, potential cancellation of the OPT program, and stricter visa renewal processes, making it essential for students to stay informed and prepared.

As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the professional landscape, the skills required to thrive in the workforce are rapidly evolving. LinkedIn’s report predicts that by 2030, 70% of job skills will undergo a radical transformation. While technical skills like AI literacy remain important, soft skills such as adaptability, strategic thinking, and communication are emerging as key competencies for the future. The ability to innovate, solve problems, and build relationships will be crucial to navigating the changing job market. With new roles and regional variations shaping the demand for skills, upskilling has become essential for career survival.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has strongly criticized State Superintendent Tom Horne for threatening to withhold over $1.5 million in federal funds from the Kyrene School District. The funding supports low-income students and teacher programs, and Horne’s threat, which lacks legal grounding, was in response to a district policy promoting respect and empathy. Mayes urged districts to ignore baseless threats and affirmed the funds must reach schools as required by law, as reported by the KVOA.

Palestinian student leader Mohsen Mahdawi, a senior at Columbia University, was detained by US immigration officials in Vermont just before his final citizenship interview. A lawful resident for 10 years, Mahdawi’s arrest is seen as retaliation for his past activism, according to his attorney, as reported by CNN. A judge has temporarily blocked his deportation. His case echoes that of another Columbia student, Mahmoud Khalil, highlighting a broader crackdown on pro-Palestinian voices on US campuses.

Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, writes in Fox News that President Trump’s plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education would severely hurt 90% of public school students, particularly low-income and special needs children. The cuts would reduce vital federal funding, hurting educational equity and increasing reliance on private school vouchers. Weingarten warns that this move would exacerbate inequality and put vulnerable students at risk, undermining decades of progress.

Florida public universities are pushing to deputize campus police for immigration enforcement under the 287(g) program, which would give them powers to question and arrest individuals based on their immigration status. This move aligns with Governor Ron DeSantis’s support for strict immigration laws but has raised concerns about student safety and campus culture. Critics argue the policy could create fear among students and undermine universities’ roles as safe, inclusive spaces for learning.
