It clearly sounds like entrapment.

From the department of Justice (forgive the gendered language, it was written in 1973):

“THE ENTRAPMENT DEFENSE IS USED WHEN AN ACCUSED PERSON ALLEGES THAT HE NEVER WOULD HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME IF A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER HAD NOT INSPIRED, INCITED, PERSUADED AND LURED HIM.”

No like, setting up a fake university to entrap what? Was something up or they just went let’s set up a fake university maybe something will happen?

It all just seems so odd and not the first thing that pops up as an entrapment operation.

I say it’s a clear-cut case of entrapment. A government agency sets up a school intended to lure young foreign students into applying, being accepted, and then applying for visas. These students have no intention of breaking the law, but through the very nature of the school being fake by government design, their visa is revoked, and they are deported.
