"The lawsuit, filed in August by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression on behalf of The Stanford Daily, accuses Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and other officials of using federal immigration laws to revoke international students' visas for constitutionally protected speech. The complaint specifically highlights cases involving students who criticized Israel's military strikes in Gaza and President Donald Trump's foreign policy."
