Over 1,000 international students across 160 institutions have experienced visa or legal status revocations by the U.S. government, prompting several to sue the Trump administration. Students claim they have been deprived of due process as many are affected over minor infractions, with some being unclear as to why they were specifically targeted. ACLU legal representatives have indicated a potential nationwide policy driving these mass terminations, evidenced by recent court challenges against the Department of Homeland Security from students across various states.
The actions by the federal government to terminate students' legal status have left hundreds of scholars at risk of detention and deportation.
At least 1,024 students at 160 colleges, universities and university systems have had their visas revoked or their legal status terminated since late March.
The timing and uniformity of these terminations leave little question that DHS has adopted a nationwide policy of mass termination of student (legal) status.
Students have argued the government lacked justification to cancel their visa or terminate their legal status.
