No like, setting up a fake university to entrap what? Was something up or they just went let's set up a fake university maybe something will happen?

It all just seems so odd and not the first thing that pops up as an entrapment operation.

I say it's a clear-cut case of entrapment. A government agency sets up a school intended to lure young foreign students into applying, being accepted, and then applying for visas. These students have no intention of breaking the law, but through the very nature of the school being fake by government design, their visa is revoked, and they are deported.

So the government is just scamming the poor students for kicks? "Haha it's just a prank bro!" Yeah I don't get the motivation behind it. Are foreign students not allowed in the US or something?

I was thinking entrapment like drug bust at least they they're trying to catch the dealers or something, not people who're just trying to study abroad.

I’m taking a wild guess. They can use it (invalid visas) as an excuse to ban people so they can’t (legally) enter the US for at least several years, therefore reducing the number of people attempting to get in.
