The students were "denied admission to the U.S. to continue their studies" and were sent back to China, ASU said.
PHOENIX – Nine Chinese students who were returning to the U.S. as undergraduate students at Arizona State University were detained at Los Angeles International Airport, university officials said.
ASU said it has not been able to get answers on why the students were detained and sent back. When contacted by The Arizona Republic, customs officials responded that it was after regular business hours, so they couldn't immediately comment. Earlier this week, the Harvard Crimson reported a Palestinian student was detained by Customs and Border Protection and sent home to Lebanon. In that instance, the student claims customs officials found posts from people that included political views that opposed the U.S. on his friends' list.ASU also had to close its Confucius Institute, which was funded by the Chinese government, to continue receiving funds from the Department of Defense for a language program.
"In each case, the students were in possession of all needed documentation to enter the U.S. yet they were refused entry at the airport, told they needed to return to China, that they needed to pay for their own airline ticket to do so or face a ban from re-entering the U.S. for five years," Crow wrote to the federal officials.
