This is very bad news and I hope the activism that seems to be generated will help change minds.
I had the honor of attending the piano technician 3 years course 1985 to 1987 and the experience changed my life. I commuted from Cleethorpes.
The basic skills I obtained there were the springboard to a lifetime of learning and have enabled me to get to the top of my profession.

I now live in San Francisco and am on the verge of retirement from my position as Piano Curator at the Department of Music at Stanford University.
International students enrich our lives on a daily basis as we learn from them and the world gets smaller.

Thank you for the contact info attached to the above posts. I will get involved and do what I can.
Keep on keeping on!
