Colleges and universities across the country say the visas of some international students have been revoked in recent days without notice, causing confusion on campuses and panic among students, some of whom have filed lawsuits.  

Schools including Columbia University, Harvard University and University of California, San Diego, said they weren’t told the visas were being revoked or even given a reason why. The schools found out by monitoring their databases of international students, or in some cases because immigration agents have made arrests.
