LHSCD In The Press: Nicole Simon on Student Visa Revocations

April 9, 2025

Nicole Simon, LHSCD’s Managing Partner and a Lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, was recently quoted in an article by The Daily Pennsylvanian about the Trump administration’s recent revocations of some student visas:

“It’s been much scarier to be in the country as a foreign national, whether you have legal status or not,” Simon said. “This is definitely an administration intent [on] limit[ing] immigration.”

Simon also questioned the legality and constitutionality of the “frightening path that the government is going down,” and noted that there is no proof that any of the students who have faced visa revocations did anything “wrong” or “illegal” that would result in the terminations.

Ms. Simon is also quoted discussing the likely voluntary departure of students whose visas are not revoked, noting that “a lot of these students are going to opt to leave” — and are “probably not going to want to come back.”
