Trump’s nominee for director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Joseph Edlow, has proposed ending the Optional Practical Training (OPT) programme calling it a "misapplication of the law". “What I want to see would be essentially a regulatory and sub-regulatory programme that would allow us to remove the ability for employment authorisations for F-1 students beyond the time they are in school,” Edlow said in response to a question from Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah).
