University of Houston Assistant Professor Has Visa Revoked and is Forced to Return to Korea

As we have seen with just about every immigration case the media brings up there is always more to the story they leave out. In this case it is hard to say what happened, but it appears he may have had a visa to be a researcher at Ohio State University and then took a job to teach at the University of Houston instead which might have been in violation of his visa:

As the second Trump administration expelled illegal immigrants, a Korean scientist, a professor at an American university, suddenly canceled his visa and left for Korea.

U.S. media, including the University Herald, the Houston Chronicle and the Daily Cougar, reported on the 15th (local time) that Korean assistant professor Cho Hyung-sun, who works at the University of Houston’s mathematics department, is preparing to leave for Korea after her visa was abruptly canceled. Jeon served as a postdoctoral researcher at Ohio State University in the U.S. from September 2022 to June 2024, and began teaching as an assistant professor at Houston University last fall.

Jeon is known to have been notified of the cancellation of his visa because he is working on a doctoral program at another institution. He was virtually kicked out after failing to finish the course he was in charge of this semester to go back to Korea and solve his identity problem.

You can read more at the link, but this guy appears to be handling things correctly by going back to Korea and reapplying for the appropriate visa to teach at the University of Houston. It sounds like a lot of visa holders had been able to cut corners for a long time in regards to what their visas could be used for and ICE is now cracking down on it. Anyone that has a visa in the U.S. should fully understand what their allows them to do and comply by it because clearly ICE is strictly enforcing immigration laws now.

“is preparing to leave for Korea after her visa was abruptly canceled”

“He was virtually kicked out after failing to finish the course he was in charge of this semester to go back to Korea and solve his identity problem.”

At one time in human history, the assumption would be some sort of journalistic mistake.

Now, the assumption is some sort of mental illness.

The Trump administration’s goal is to deport all foreign students from the United States, according to the Project 2025 900-page document.

The MAGA movement will deny this and will try hard to obfuscate, and run mental gymnastics to excuse/reason Trump 2.0. But they cannot hide the fact that many foreign students are canceling their planned studies in the United States, and are opting for Canada and Australia instead.

To me, this doesn’t bother me at all. The United States should deport all foreign students, as planned. They will be just shooting themselves in the foot and quickening their own demise at the hands of their own stupidity. Quickening the demise of the US will mean a better chance of the demise of the US government dictatorship and its American enablers. The sooner the better for world peace.

To all foreign students who are reading this. Go elsewhere! You do not want to live in such a hostile country that will blame all the problems (like drugs, crimes, mass shootings, gang violence, support for terrorism, decline in US wealth etc etc) on you, the foreign immigrants. You do not want to live in a country where nobody bats an eye when a group of ICE agents can arrest you without a warrant or charge, nor a trial/hearing, and ship you off to foreign concentration camps where you’ll rot for the rest of your life. DO NOT GO TO A DANGEROUS DYSTOPIA. There are plenty of other countries where you are welcomed and your contributions are appreciated.

Can you quote the part in Project 2025 that discusses the goal to deport all foreign students?

Like so much that you hyperventilate about, I can’t seem to find any reference to your alarmist imagination in the real world.

Bonus: Why is America assisting foreign students from hostile countries or who have attitudes counter to American culture and interests?

Perhaps the answer lies less in the Project 2025 Boogeyman and more in sensible governance.

I thought you’d be happy to deport all the dirty, inferior people? Isn’t this what you want? Why so snappy?

Project 2025 – a wishlist written by 27 Conservative think tankers who want the US to become a white Christian Nationalist country where there is no longer a separation of religion and government. One of the wishes is the complete gutting of the American higher education through government defunding and virtual elimination of foreign students from Asia.

This article, in November 19, 2024, was published right after Donald Trump’s reelection. It describes how Project 2025 will make it difficult for Asian foreign students, thus effectively shutting them out of US colleges, because the US far-right views foreign students from China, India, and South Korea as threats against the United States.

I am delighted to deport all the dirty, inferior people. America already has a surplus of dirty, inferior people that need to be managed.

But that has nothing to do with Project 2025.

“who want the US to become a white Christian Nationalist country where there is no longer a separation of religion and government”

Again, can you quote the part in Project 2025 that discusses the desire to be a white Christian Nationalist country with no separation between religion and government?

Don’t quote how others choose to interpret Project 2025 through the lens of their own agenda. Go to the source and show me the true focus of your outrage.

If you can’t find anything, consider that you are being played.

The writers at Maeil swapped that professor’s gender multiple times…

Leads me to believe they didn’t research the story any better than the school in Houston researched his immigration status.

Read the pages starting from 319 by Lindsey M. Burke regarding the Department of Education, and tell me what it says.
