Jian Ren, being from China, explained:
"So, with the pandemic and the authoritarian U.S.--China relations in the current moment, there is virtually no flights between China and the U.S., only two or four per week. And the one-way economy-class tickets cost Chinese students more than $10,000 U.S. So, if mass deportation begins, it's nearly impossible for hundreds of thousands of Chinese students to go home, with both Chinese government and the U.S. government policy to manipulate flight tickets at this moment. And if the U.S. government is going to implement mass deportations by itself, it would be a heavy tax burden for average U.S. taxpayers."
Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have just filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, and 99 members of Congress led by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren have submitted a written demand to ICE to withdraw the policy.
On Thursday, California became the first state to join in suing the administration.
