Dear Senator Minority Whip Durbin, Senator Duckworth, and Representative Bost,

I am an independent voter who is deeply concerned about the fact that under ICE’s new rules, international students must choose between attending in-person classes during a pandemic or taking them online from another country.

With the COVID-19 pandemic still spiking in the United States, requiring colleges and universities to open for in-person instruction is unsafe and unnecessary. But the new SEVP modifications announced on July 6 by ICE force institutions to choose between putting the health of their students and instructors at risk or losing their international students.
