Chinese students train for simulated ICE raids before US college
Some Chinese teenagers preparing for American universities are attending summer camps that simulate US immigration raids, reflecting growing anxiety over unpredictable immigration policies.
A report describes how some Chinese teenagers heading to American universities are undergoing unusual pre-departure training. Private summer camps in China are simulating encounters with US immigration authorities, including fake raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Students are taught what to do if armed men enter their rooms, preparing them for what one report calls a 'hostile and unpredictable' immigration system. This training goes beyond typical preparations like packing clothes or buying a laptop. It signals a broader shift among some Chinese families, who now factor immigration risks into their decisions about American higher education, alongside academic pressure and culture shock.
