The illegal residents were arrested by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials l various locations in the United States.
Media reports claimed the students were arrested under a search operation named OPTical Illusion, which targets the nonimmigrants students staying in the US under the name of Optional Practical Training (OPT).

The American media quoted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials as saying: The students who were arrested in the search operation were employed by the complaints which don't exist.
