Lawsuits filed against cancellation of visas

Over a thousand international students in the US see records getting terminated

Zhuo'er Chen is a student pursuing a master's degree in architecture at the University of California, Berkeley. She is set to graduate next month. However, her student visa was suddenly terminated by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, on April 8.

It seems that thousands of students have had a similar experience.

According to a report by the Association of International Educators, as of Monday, there have been almost 1,300 reports of international students and scholars either having their visas revoked or their records in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System, or SEVIS, terminated. The affected include undergraduate, graduate and Optional Practical Training students.
