California Students Sue Trump Administration Over Visa Cancellations
California students, including those from Dartmouth College, have initiated legal action against the Trump administration following the abrupt cancellation of their F-1 visas. The lawsuit, filed in response to the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) policy, challenges the unilateral termination of the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) records, which has left many international students in a precarious situation.
The students argue that the policy, which led to the revocation of their visas without prior notice or opportunity to appeal, violates their rights and disrupts their educational pursuits. The case has garnered attention not only in the U.S. but also internationally, as reported by the Times of India, highlighting the global impact of U.S. immigration policies on students.
The lawsuit seeks to halt the DHS's practice and restore the students' visa status, allowing them to continue their studies without fear of deportation. This legal battle underscores the ongoing tensions between U.S. immigration policies and the rights of international students, a critical issue as the country navigates its stance on immigration and education.
