Four University of Idaho students have had their visas revoked, according to Jodi Walker, a spokesperson with the Moscow school.

Walker declined to provide additional information, citing student privacy.

President Donald Trump’s administration in recent weeks has started pulling back hundreds of student visas across the country. Some visas seem to have been terminated for activism or past legal issues, according to NBC News.

“All communications are directly between ICE and the students,” Walker said in an email to the Statesman. “We regularly review the SEVIS website to learn of any revocations.”

Boise State University spokesperson Stephany Galbreaith said no F-1 visas (a type of student admission) had been revoked as of Thursday.

“We are monitoring information that is available to us,” Galbreaith said.

Emily Frandsen, spokesperson for Idaho State University, said that as of Thursday the school has not received any notice of revoked visas.
