Recently, over 1,200 international students lost their legal status or had their visas revoked without clear reasons. ICE terminated SEVIS records, leaving many students at risk of deportation, causing job losses, missed exams, and forced departures.
Government’s Response
After multiple lawsuits:
- ICE will restore SEVIS records for affected students.
- Visa revocations remain unchanged for now.
- A new policy is being developed to guide future actions.
Officials assured that records will stay active or be reactivated while the new policy is finalized.
Key Concerns
Despite the reversal:
- Students fear arrests or disruptions.
- Lawyers seek a nationwide order to protect them fully.
- Judges demand clearer guidelines from the government.
