The U.S. Department of Homeland Security revoked four University of Michigan students' visas on Friday.

The Detroit Free Press reports that at least one student at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning has left the country at the U of M International Center's recommendation.

In a written statement, a U of M spokesperson said, "The University of Michigan has learned that four currently registered students have had their visas revoked by the Department of Homeland Security. Administrators have contacted these students to advise them of potential consequences of this action."

Several current and former international students at Central Michigan University had their legal residencies terminated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Friday.

Bridge Michigan reports university officials and the students themselves were not notified, and CMU staff discovered the revoked residencies during a routine check of a DHS student information web portal.

University spokesperson Ari Harris said CMU is notifying affected students of their options. They can leave the country or reapply to stay and wait to see if that application is approved.

The Trump administration has revoked the legal residencies of international students at universities across the U.S.

This is a developing story.
