The Office of the President for Central Michigan University (CMU) said the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deleted records of some current and former students in the country on a student visa. CMU officials said neither the school nor the students received notice. They encourage international students and staff affected by this termination to seek legal counsel from the American Immigration Lawyers Association.
