Nearly 100 student visas have been revoked in New England, with some students facing deportation for expressing pro-Palestinian viewpoints. The ACLU and Shaheen & Gordon filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for violating due process rights. The lawsuit argued that students had their F-1 student status terminated without cause, disrupting their education. Students from India and China make up a significant portion of international student visa holders in the US. The lawsuit named Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Acting Director of ICE Todd Lyons as defendants. The ACLU argued that the sudden termination of student visas was unlawful and severely impacted students in the middle of their studies. The lawsuit highlighted individual cases, such as a student set to graduate and another who invested over $300,000 in their education in the US. The students were not given a chance to respond to the termination of their status, violating their due process rights. Massachusetts has a high number of international students, ranking third in the US, with many major universities attracting students from around the world. The lawsuit aims to overturn the revocation of student visas and allow students to continue their studies in the US.
