Overview
- Three Indian and two Chinese students have filed a class action lawsuit in the US District Court in New Hampshire, contesting the Trump administration's termination of F-1 visas.
- The lawsuit alleges that the Department of Homeland Security unilaterally canceled the visas of over 1,000 international students without proper notice or due process.
- Plaintiffs claim the visa revocations have caused significant academic disruptions, financial hardship, and risks of detention and deportation.
- The students' visas were reportedly revoked for minor traffic misdemeanors, such as driving without a valid license or insurance, despite compliance with penalties and legal requirements.
- The lawsuit seeks to reinstate the revoked visas, halt deportations, and restore the academic standing of affected students.
