Hundreds of students at the University of California -- Berkeley are discussing a plan to create a course solely to help international students on F-1 student visas avoid deportation under new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) regulations -- and they say at least one faculty member is on board, Fox News has learned.
The plan, which could run afoul of laws against immigration fraud if enacted in its current form, was hatched hours after ICE announced Monday that foreign students in the country are required to take some in-person instruction or they will not be allowed to legally remain in the country.
"berkeley students are creating a 1-unit, in-person, student-run class to help international students avoid deportation due to the new ICE regulations," a Berkeley Urban Studies student wrote in a now-deleted tweet, which has been archived by Google. "love my school sometimes."

Oh those Berkeley students. So smart. The best that America...no wait...the best that any other other country in the world has to offer. *rolls eyes*
I would say a big fat NO to this ridiculous idea. Let them or anyone else other than the American taxpayer pay for this.
Oh yeah, and they are breaking the law with this. Hope someone somewhere will bring these idiots to account.
Conspiracy to commit a crime. Somebody should throw a string in a tree to gget the FBI to do something.
Love that ICE is using the idiotic shutdowns against the chicom spies dressed as students.
that 1 unit thingy isn’t going to work under the ‘normal progress’ part of the ruling. As usual, Berkeley students can’t read:
” These schools, however, must certify that a student is not taking an entirely online course load during the fall and that the student is taking “the minimum number of online classes required to make normal progress for their degree program.”

I would suggest this...if this meets the criteria to being a fraudulent course...then their certification with the educational system would be in jeopardy. Someone would report it, the certification folks would try to fake-stamp it, and get dragged into court.
Political science Prof. William Hurst tweeted that he would offer an in-person independent study to any graduate student in his department that holds an F-1 visa and needs such a class to legally remain in the country
Fraud 101 but first ya need a prerequisite in the fine techniques of theft, larceny and tyranny.
Foreign students conspiring to commit a federal crime under U.S. immigration law are handing the U.S. government all it needs to immediately deport them.
The Law

Right
I would suspect that any F-1 visa holder that signed up for this would be deported for visa fraud
