flag A U.S. travel ban has stranded a Myanmar student in Singapore, blocking his return to Michigan after an internship.

flag Patrick Thaw, a 21-year-old University of Michigan neuroscience student from Myanmar, is stranded in Singapore after the Trump administration’s 2025 travel ban blocked his return to the U.S. following a summer internship. flag The ban, which restricted entry for citizens from 12 countries including Myanmar, disrupted his studies and severed his connection to campus life in Ann Arbor. flag Though he remains enrolled and participates in classes remotely, ongoing visa restrictions and uncertainty have made returning impossible. flag Thaw, who fled civil unrest in Myanmar to pursue education in the U.S., now faces an uncertain academic future and is exploring options to continue his degree abroad. flag His experience reflects broader challenges faced by international students due to tightened U.S. immigration policies.
