DOJ Changes Mind, Restores Student Status in Key Database
However, we do not know if the State Department will take the same action.
The Department of Justice walked back on canceling student visas on Friday.
The DOJ made the reversal known in filings across the country. From Newsmax:
A lawyer for the government read a statement in federal court in Oakland that said ICE was manually restoring the student status for people whose records were terminated in recent weeks. A similar statement was read by a government attorney in a separate case in Washington on Friday, said lawyer Brian Green, who represents the plaintiff in that case. Green provided The Associated Press with a copy of the statement that the government lawyer emailed to him.
It says: “ICE is developing a policy that will provide a framework for SEVIS [Student and Exchange Visitor Information Systems] record terminations. Until such a policy is issued, the SEVIS records for plaintiff[s] in this case [and other similarly situated plaintiffs] will remain Active or shall be re-activated if not currently active and ICE will not modify the record solely based on the NCIC finding that resulted in the recent SEVIS record termination.”
Green said that the government lawyer said it would apply to all students in the same situation, not just those who had filed lawsuits.
Green also said: “ICE maintains the authority to terminate a SEVIS record for other reasons, such as if the plaintiff fails to maintain his or her nonimmigrant status after the record is reactivated or engages in other unlawful activity that would render him or her removable from the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act.”
The visa terminations led to over 100 lawsuits in 23 states. Judges in 50 of the cases told Trump’s “administration to temporarily undo the actions.”
However, we do not know if the State Department will take the same action:
A federal official told a judge last week that the agency was performing “quality control” on those decisions.
Earlier this year, Secretary of State Marco Rubio canceled the student visas of dozens of foreigners he contends were disrupting U.S. foreign policy through pro-Palestinian activism. However, a more recent, larger wave of visa cancellations appeared to target students who had minor brushes with the law and were also impacted by the termination of their profiles in the SEVIS database.

stop the money flow to any and all aka welfare
there must be some legal hangup b/c we know its not a moral issue to give in to lefty
congress refuses to protect america and her borders
Geez
Typical Trump administration. Say one thing, do another. Don’t ever be consistent. Change your policy whenever you feel like it. You don’t know what you’re doing, and now everyone else knows you don’t know what you’re doing.
Pace yourself sweetie as you still have 7 years of Trump to survive through 😂😂
Sweetie? You took the words right out of my mouth mailman.
Lack of maturity and the disease of leftism.
They were also sending a message to these “students.” But why do you TDSers love the worst types?
“You don’t know what you’re doing, and now everyone else knows you don’t know what you’re doing.”
Posted without the least bit of self-awareness or shame.
Take a look in the mirror, Chuckles, if you want to see “you don’t know what you’re doing.”
Don’t worry, they will eventually all be deported. It is gratifying hearing about crooked Dem judges being arrested.
and b/c lefty doesnt want you to know they buried this story:
china eases tariffs on semi conductors and some meds
On Friday, reports emerged that China quietly rolled back tariffs on some US semiconductors, easing pressure on its tech sector, along with certain US pharmaceuticals. Bloomberg reported that Beijing is also weighing tariff relief on medical gear and chemicals.
maga!
China’s economy is tanking, and this will cause permanent damage, & market loss.
Good, I’m sick of hearing about China
Put tariffs on! Make tariff exceptions! Take tariffs off! Put tariffs back on! Put reciprocal tariffs on! Take reciprocal tariffs off! Yank student visas! Restore student visas! Build the wall! Lock her up! God help us from Trump.
Chief Justice John Roberts isn’t doing his job because he is commenting here and displaying such terminal TDS that even his beloved muslim surgeon can’t fix it.
You sound like a chicken that lost its head, but a chicken with TDS. Biden was better, right? Things were going great, right? Gotta love that lawfare, right?
In spite of your hatred, he will probably pull it together and have things chugging in not too long order. And then you will find something else. Something false to hang your hat upon. The border alone puts you to shame. He actually IS sharp as a tack! No one would be discussing these issues if not for them being raised, however the manner. The better question is why you champion those who practice deception and cause greater harm?
Cry harder, Junior. I find your tears to be most refreshing.
Trump needs to decide what his policy is. Does he like anti-Semites coming in and agitating against the United States and attacking Jews or does he not like it?
The online right like Tucker Carlson absolutely love the people who have had their student visas restored.
We could only hope Trump isn’t going the way of Vance.
He obviously doesn’t like it, but he’s learning that he can’t prevent everything he doesn’t like.
This administration seems to mostly have good policies, but has stumbled out of haste. Trying to do too many things, all of them important, too quickly. It’s resulted in some great successes, but of course the focus is going to be on the slip-ups, and there have been too many of those. Time should correct most of those.
Except you aren’t entitled to a student visa.
Every student visa provided means an American applicant was rejected by the institution.
The student visas should be for people we want in the country and hope will apply for a green card afterwards and the lack of a right to a student visa means yes government can change policy to that.
What makes Universities worth fighting for instead of just to surrender to the left is they are the source of our doctors engineers scientists etc. Bring someone we know hates America in, who we will not want to keep as a citizen and exclude an American from the opportunity?
Wow! It is amazing that the left hasn’t caught on to Trump by now! With over 100 cases filed against his visa policy, he voided all of them in one moment. They will all be deported later, but after carefully rewording the law.
