I think it was about a dozen out of 1200 at Youngstown State University who had their visas revoked without explanation.

The Trump Administration has now canceled the visas of at least 529 students, faculty and researchers across 88 colleges and universities.
That's according to a data review by CNN.

Early high-profile student deportation cases in February and March saw the government cancel the visas of students tied to pro-Palestine protests and detain them. However, universities impacted say it does not appear that federal law enforcement is detaining the students and university personnel whose visas have been canceled.

What is unclear is whether students with terminated visas can stay to continue their education, or immediately leave the country.
The US State Department is manually terminating records in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program.
However, officials are not informing most schools or students about their visa cancellations.
Universities have discovered them by checking the system.
Some of the students have no criminal records.
Others face the possibility of having to return home due to convictions on relatively minor offenses.
Immigration attorneys say offenses like years-old misdemeanors generally do not lead to removal.
