UMN announces 11 international students’ legal status terminated

by Tyler Church | Published April 18, 2025

In a rapid response brief sent to faculty Friday afternoon, the University of Minnesota announced that 11 students had their Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) records terminated by the Department of Homeland Security.

Termination of SEVIS records ends a student’s legal status within the U. S., barring them from reentry without alternative forms of approved documentation.

SEVIS is a national database that tracks international students while they study in the U.S. and is managed by the Student and Exchange Visitor program, a division of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

This announcement comes well after the University announced that an international Carlson School graduate student, Dogukan Gunaydin, was detained by ICE officers March 27. Gunaydin, who is still in ICE detention, had his B-1/B-2 student visa revoked by the U.S. Department of State for a driving while intoxicated charge from June 2023.
