The Trump administration is focusing some of its deportation efforts on the academic world, recently detaining international students across the country who were in the country legally on student visas after accusing them of supporting Hamas in its war with Israel. Three of these students have been taken to a remote ICE detention center in Louisiana, a facility that civil rights groups have called "a black hole."

Students Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk and Alireza Doroudi were all recently arrested near their homes in separate instances before being taken hundreds of miles away to the Louisiana detention center, according to a new report by NBC News.
