ACLU of Michigan Sues Trump Administration Over Revoked Student Visas

The ACLU of Michigan has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration on behalf of four international students from Wayne State University and the University of Michigan whose student visas were revoked without notice. The lawsuit claims that these abrupt terminations violate the students' right to due process, as they received notification only through their universities after the Department of Homeland Security conducted a routine check of SEVIS records. This action is part of a broader trend, with reports indicating that at least 300 international students nationwide have faced similar visa revocations. ACLU officials argue that the lack of direct communication from the government denies these students the opportunity to challenge their status effectively. The lawsuit aims to reinstate the students' F-1 status, allowing them to continue their education without the threat of deportation. The situation has sparked significant discussion about the legal rights of international students and the impact on academic institutions in Michigan.
