ICE Expands Power to Deport Students Based on Visa Revocation
Tap title to read story
ICE may now terminate a foreign student's legal status solely based on visa revocation by the State Department, a policy shift criticized by attorneys as contradicting prior guidance. Previously, due process was typically afforded. This new directive, revealed in an internal memo, expands ICE's power to terminate SEVIS records for various reasons, including unemployment or violating change of status rules. While the Trump administration recently reinstated the legal statuses of students affected by previous visa revocations, this new policy raises concerns about potential consequences for international students, prompting calls for legal consultation.
