Quotes and Excerpts from Rajiv in the article:

Rajiv Khanna, managing attorney at Immigration.com, cautioned against alarm. “The government’s authority to revoke institutional certification under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program is not unlimited. The legal vulnerability of these actions lies in their arbitrary nature,” he said. He urged students who receive visa revocation notices to act swiftly but stay calm. “The key is not to self-deport out of fear. Many provisions of the Constitution protect all people, regardless of their status, meaning students still have the right to defend themselves under due process and can’t be deported without it.”

Khanna also dismissed the administration’s broader accusations, including claims of antisemitism and links to the Chinese Communist Party, as “lacking substantive evidence” and politically motivated. “These broad, unsupported allegations appear designed to justify predetermined actions rather than address specific security concerns,” he said.
