Foreign students sue Trump officials over revoked visas as 1,000 affected
Briefly

Recent revocations of international student visas by the Trump administration have provoked legal action, with students asserting that due process was not followed. Over 901 students across 128 institutions faced legal status terminations, prompting concerns over unjustified cancellations based on minor infractions. The ACLU’s lawsuits reflect fears of a uniform DHS policy behind these actions, which pose a significant threat of deportation for many affected students. Several universities support the claims of students regarding due process violations and the lack of clear justification for their legal status changes.
The actions by the federal government to terminate students' legal status have left hundreds of scholars at risk of detention and deportation.
In lawsuits against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), students have argued the government lacked justification to cancel their visa or terminate their legal status.
At least 901 students at 128 colleges and universities have had their visas revoked or their legal status terminated since mid-March.
The timing and uniformity of these terminations leave little question that DHS has adopted a nationwide policy of mass termination of student status.
