Overview

• Four international students from Michigan universities, including an Indian national, have filed a federal lawsuit against DHS over the abrupt termination of their F-1 student visas.
• The lawsuit claims the visa revocations were executed without proper notice or explanation, leaving students at risk of detention and deportation.
• The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan is representing the students and has requested an emergency injunction to restore their visa status during legal proceedings.
• The complaint names high-ranking officials, including DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, and alleges that minor law enforcement encounters, such as parking tickets, triggered the terminations.
• Critics warn that such policies could deter future international students from choosing U.S. institutions, potentially harming the reputation and diversity of American universities.
