is it right to apply to USA for higher education when so many muslims are suffering because of its policies?

Answer

Shari?ah does not prohibit us from using the resources of non-Muslims for our upliftment and empowerment on condition:

1. We preserve and practice our Islamic principles and ethos

2. Display good character and invite others to Islam

3. Use the education to advance the cause of the Ummah.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
