LSU officials are confirming the arrests of two Iranian-born students this week by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.
ICE agents took the pair into custody at their off-campus Baton Rouge apartment.
An LSU spokesman says the two students are a married couple and are both pursuing doctorate degrees in mechanical engineering.
ICE has reported numerous arrests of Iranian nationals since President Donald Trump authorized US air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend.
