US EditionWisconsin international student visas restored as Trump administration reverses course
- The Trump administration reversed its decision to cancel international student visas in late March, affecting students at universities including Wisconsin and Texas.
- The cancellations followed a lack of clear rationale and due process, leading to legal challenges and court orders blocking terminations in at least 23 states including Wisconsin.
- Thousands of students had their SEVIS records terminated abruptly and without explanation, causing widespread confusion and fear among students and their families.
- UW-Madison reversed 27 cancellations, with the ACLU noting these reversals provide little protection and urging courts to declare such terminations illegal without due process.
- Despite the reversals, uncertainty remains as ICE develops a new SEVIS policy, and courts continue to oversee over 100 pending cases amid ongoing fear and instability for affected students.
