Visas revoked for international students in state
At least 110 international students at Texas universities have had their visas revoked or their immigration status marked as terminated in a federal database, The Texas Tribune reported.  As of last week, these universities confirmed the number of international students affected:
University of North Texas: 27
University of Texas at Dallas: 19
University of Texas at Arlington: 27
Texas A&M University: 19
University of Texas Rio Grande Valley: 9
Texas Women’s University: 4
Texas Tech University: 3
The University of Texas at Austin and the University of Houston said that some of its students had a change in their immigration status but declined to say how many.
On Wednesday, the Department of Homeland Security said it would begin screening the social media feeds of international students for “antisemitic” content. Pro-Palestine protests were held at several Texas campuses after Israel retaliated in Gaza after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas.

International students can have their visas revoked for different reasons, and this has been the case for a long time.  

Many of those reasons have nothing to do with what this letter alludes to.

"It is currently unclear when and why their visas were revoked."
