Lawsuit Challenges Trump Administration's Visa Revocations for International Students

A series of lawsuits have been filed against the Trump administration over the abrupt revocation of F-1 visas for over a thousand international students at U.S. colleges and universities. The legal actions, led by ACLU affiliates and supported by Democratic state attorneys general, allege that students were stripped of their status without due process, disrupting their education and leaving them at risk of deportation. Federal judges in some states have granted temporary restraining orders to protect affected students while litigation proceeds. Many of those impacted had no involvement in campus protests or criminal activity, with some reportedly targeted over minor infractions. The visa cancellations have sparked rallies and bipartisan criticism, with university officials arguing that international students are being unfairly swept up in broader political disputes. Amid mounting pressure, the administration has yet to fully explain the scope or rationale behind the mass revocations.
