"The federal government has been taking steps to terminate the legal status of international students with expired visas. Some colleges have advised students to leave the country to avoid the risk of being detained or deported.

However, a federal judge in Wisconsin ruled that the government could not take steps to detain or revoke the visa of a University of Wisconsin-Madison gradate student1. The process of revoking a visa is handled by the State Department."

(source unclear..possibly Wikipedia)

"At Minnesota State University in Mankato, President Edward Inch told the campus Wednesday that visas had been revoked for five international students for unclear reasons.

He said school officials learned about the revocations when they ran a status check in a database of international students after the detention of a Turkish student at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. The State Department said the detention was related to a drunken driving conviction."

Reading individual case files, each revoked student visa seems to stem from an infraction of the law. These infractions range from attempting to bring animal embryos through customs, (when this is illegal), to drunk driving, to 300 revocations for radical activism on behalf of Hamas.
