They did not target those 9, there were about 20-30 of them in the secondary room according to witnesses, all Chinese (but LAX is big so they might have a special Chinese secondary room, couldn’t clear that up). Only one university decided to come forward for now.
This behavior of CBP is highly unusual according to professionals.
- caf 7y agoI feel like the unreported yet actually interesting background here is that the Administration seems to have decided, for some reason, to pick a fight with the universities. The reason that other institutions involved haven't come forward is likely because this kind of thing is terrible advertising for the international student industry.
- nraynaud 7y agoI speculate that UCLA must be impacted (just size and in the west), but they had a Chinese student cheating ring scandal recently, so they probably will have a public perception if they come forwards. In a strongly sinophobe time, Americans believe all one billion Chineses are the same.
