US EditionThe US government has a new policy for terminating international students’ legal status
- The U.S. Government began terminating the legal status of thousands of international students nationwide in recent weeks, causing widespread concern.
- This crackdown followed new government criteria allowing visa revocation as grounds for status cancellation, a change from previous policy that sparked lawsuits.
- Officials ran students' names through FBI’s National Crime Information Center, identifying about 6,400 students, some with only minor infractions like driving offenses.
- Immigration attorney Brad Banias explained that the new policy significantly increases ICE’s authority, allowing them to prompt the State Department to cancel visas and remove students from the U.S., even in cases where the students have not committed any wrongdoing.
- A federal judge appointed by President Biden urged settlement, highlighting the government’s lack of individual case review and calling the situation avoidable with more care.
