Ice agents hold the University of Alabama Doctoral Student

A doctoral student at the University of Alabama was held by the federal migration authorities, the university said in a statement on Wednesday, one of more than half a dozen students who have targeted Trump’s administration in recent weeks.

The student was not named by school, but electronic files from immigration and customs enforcement show that Alireza Doroudi, Iranian citizen, was held by the organization.

Alex House, a spokesman for the University of Alabama, located in Tuscaloosa, Ala, said the student was detained by the campus. It was not clear why the student had targeted and US immigration officials did not immediately answer questions on Wednesday night.

Earlier this month, Mahmoud Khalil, a recent graduate of Columbia University and leader of the US Permanent Diocese, was arrested by federal migration officers in New York. Although not accused of any crime, Trump’s administration described Mr Khalil’s comments as anti -Semitic and claimed to be deported.

And on Tuesday, Rumeysa Ozturk, a Turkish doctoral student at Tufts University in Massachusetts who had a student visa, was obtained in federal editing. Sunil Kumar, president of Tufts University, wrote in an email to students, staff and faculty members on Tuesday night that Tufts managers had said that the student’s view had been terminated.

Crimson White, a student newspaper at the University of Alabama, said Mr Doroudi’s booking for the first time on Wednesday afternoon.

According to a LinkedIn page that is said to belong to Mr. Doroudi, he studied engineering at the University of Alabama and specialized in metallurgical engineering, which focuses on metals used for the production of industrial products. Last year, he wrote to Linkedin that he was “excited to share” his first published paper as Ph.D. researcher.
