Why make them leave? This gives them a sudden 10 day window to pack their shit and gtfo.
People have year long leases. People have commitments. Even if they choose to leave, no doubt they would prefer to do it on their time, not with ICE breathing down their neck.
Airplane tickets are expensive and rare. It's fucking hard to just uproot yourself in 10 days if your school becomes online only.
Also, having your visa revoked ducks the OPT process, in case you ever wanted to work in the US in the near future.
