Groups like Amnesty International and the Canadian Union of Public Employees issued an open letter urging the government to halt deportations, separate immigration enforcement from protests, and restore work permits—especially since students became ineligible only after graduation. The controversy stems from sudden rule changes affecting post-graduation work permits for students in public-private programs, leaving many shocked and stranded. Police were called over sidewalk blockages, leading to border agents verifying identities and issuing removals to ten individuals. Students argue they were still within a grace period to restore status, and many now face costly legal battles and forced returns home, raising alarms about unpredictable policy shifts and their chilling effect on free speech.
