Five international college students and two recent graduates in Georgia have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for unlawfully terminating their student visas. The students believe their visas were revoked due to minor run-ins with law enforcement, such as traffic citations, many of which were dropped. The termination of their SEVIS records could lead to arrest, detention, and deportation, as well as loss of academic standing and degrees. The lawsuit names high-ranking officials as defendants, alleging that ICE has created chaos on campuses by revoking visas and SEVIS records. The students, hailing from Colombia, China, and India, studied at various universities in Georgia and other states. They fear retaliation from the administration and are fighting to prevent deportation. The students involved include doctoral students, recent graduates, and a student-athlete with a high GPA. Their attorneys argue that the government’s actions violate their due process protections under the Fifth Amendment. The lawsuit aims to put a temporary block on the government while the case progresses. The students’ alleged minor offenses, such as expired license plates or speeding, do not meet the legal threshold for revoking their SEVIS registration. The situation highlights the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration, particularly targeting student visa holders.
