Lawsuits Filed Nationwide After U.S. Revokes Student Visas

A wave of lawsuits has emerged across the United States as international students challenge the abrupt revocation of their visas by the Trump administration, alleging violations of due process. Many of these students, attending institutions ranging from elite universities to smaller colleges, argue that they were stripped of their legal status without adequate explanation, often for minor infractions. Notably, lawsuits have been filed against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), with some cases already resulting in restraining orders for affected students. Universities, including Augustana College and Missouri State University, have reported multiple visa revocations and are supporting their students in seeking legal recourse. Students are highlighted as facing potential detention or deportation due to the revocations, with some alleging a pattern of discrimination. The ACLU is actively representing several plaintiffs, emphasizing the constitutional rights at stake in these legal challenges.
