From Fox News: A federal judge in Georgia has ordered the Trump administration to reinstate the legal statuses of 133 international students by 5 p.m. Tuesday after their F-1 student visas were suddenly terminated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security (DHS).
The students, many of whom are in good academic standing and close to graduation, had their records terminated on Homeland Security’s SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) and they allege this was done without prior notice, proper explanation or an opportunity to respond. SEVIS is a database Homeland Security uses to monitor non-immigrant students.
U.S. District Court Judge Victoria Calvert, a Biden appointee, granted temporary restraining orders on behalf of the plaintiffs and ordered ICE and DHS to reinstate student statuses retroactively to March 31, 2025.
“Plaintiffs are likely to show that Defendants’ termination of the SEVIS registration exceeds the bounds of statutory and regulatory authority and is therefore unlawful,” Calvert wrote.

The ACLU and other groups in the Northern District of Georgia had filed the lawsuit on behalf of the foreign students.

Of course she did. Illegal immigration is anti white and that’s what these black judges support. pic.twitter.com/Sup9MiJhPw

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly argued that no one is “entitled” to a student visa to enter the U.S., and the U.S. has the right to remove someone if they violate the rules.

.@SecRubio on pro-Hamas agitators with student visas: When you come to the United States as a visitor, which is what a visa is… we can deny you that visa… and if you end up having a green card, and you’re here engaging in those activities, we’re going to kick you out. pic.twitter.com/Yh6SlrKhq7
