Overview

  • A UCLA international graduate student was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the San Ysidro border crossing while attempting to reenter the United States from Mexico.
  • The student's identity has not been disclosed, and the reasons for her detention remain unclear, though she was able to contact a UCLA representative before being taken into custody.
  • UCLA has confirmed the student is still in CBP custody and stated its commitment to supporting international students, while faculty and legal representatives work to gain more information.
  • Approximately 150 students, faculty, and community members held a rally on the UCLA campus, demanding the student's release and protesting recent visa revocations under the Trump administration.
  • This detention follows a broader crackdown on international students, with over 1,000 visa cancellations reported nationwide since late March, including 20 at UCLA.
