Did not present themselves by and large when words was all over the news (i.e. fugitives).

It is astounding how many people in this country have no connection to "news" on a regular basis. When uninvited youths from one's home town in Egypt happen to drop in, looking for life in the USA (their story) the last thing the host wants to know is if any LEOs are after them. After all, "undocumented immigrants" have been entering this country with impunity for decades.
Too bad this group of chancers chose to try to get in from a university-university program. They were not anonymous enough.
I wonder if they had gone to Montana, spent their month there and then happened not to take a plane back to Egypt would anyone ever have known that they overstayed their visa?
Probably not.
You know that crossed my mind too - then I got a chill - they've been doing that for years.. going to school - then disappearing. But THIS time they disappeared before.. makes me wonder why it was so important to "go elsewhere" NOW... I saw someone speculate that they were mules and/or messengers... I think that's EXACTLY what they're up to.
