Four students, include Indian student, sued the Donald Trump Administration for what they alleged was the illegal termination in their student immigration status, which leaves them at risk of possible deportation.
Indian Students Sue Trump Administration
India’s Chinmay Deore was amongst 4 international students at Michigan public universities who filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and immigration officers on Friday.
Other complainants have been Xiangyun Bu and Qiuyi Yang from China and Yogesh Joshi from Nepal. The students alleged that their student immigration status in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) was illegally terminated “without note and rationalization.”
The students claim that their F-1 student visas were and illegally revoked in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). SEVIS is a database that tracks information about nonimmigrant students and change traffic in the US.
Immigrants At deportation Risk
“The lawsuit asks the court to reinstate the status of those students so that they may have the ability to finish their research and avoid going through the risk of detention and deportation,” it said. The lawsuit, filed with the support of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan, also includes a request for an emergency injunction to prevent the students from being deported while as legal proceedings hold.
“None of them has been charged with, not to mention convicted of, any crime in the US. None has violated any immigration law. Nor have they been active in on-campus protests regarding any political issue,” said a complaint in the court. “DHS did not offer the students or their colleges any valid reason behind terminating their F-1 student status,” the grievance said. The lawsuit comes because the Trump Administration immigration crackdown strikes better training, prompting a slew of lawsuits against White House officers.
