ICE created a fake university to entice foreign students, charge them money, and deport them. The students came legally on student visas, but since the school was fake the visas were invalid. (2019) (www.freep.com)

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.
