Are F1 Students also under observation by DHS based on the current immigration policies

In this video, Attorney Jonathan Wasden explains into the question: Are F-1 international students subject to increased monitoring by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under current U.S. immigration policies?

F1 students, especially those on OPT and STEM OPT extensions, are increasingly coming under scrutiny as U.S. immigration policies evolve. DHS is closely monitoring foreign nationals in the U.S., and students on these visas may face additional checks regarding their admissibility, compliance with immigration laws, and eligibility for work programs like OPT (Optional Practical Training) and the STEM OPT extension.

We’ll explain how DHS is involved in observing the status of F1 students, the key policies surrounding admissibility, and what steps students can take to stay compliant with immigration regulations. We also explore common challenges students face while on STEM OPT and how recent policy shifts might affect their ability to stay and work in the U.S.

The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), managed by ICE, oversees foreign students and exchange visitors in the U.S. SEVP maintains records through the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), ensuring compliance with visa regulations. While SEVP monitors academic progress and employment authorization, its role does not explicitly include surveillance of students’ political activities.

While DHS has the authority to monitor activities that may pose national security risks, there is no clear evidence that routine surveillance of F-1 students’ political expressions is standard practice.
