Priya Saxena, an Indian international student in South Dakota, was granted a preliminary injunction preventing her deportation after the Trump administration revoked her visa due to a minor traffic infraction four years prior. Saxena, who earned two degrees from the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, successfully sued the administration. Her attorney argued the revocation was unjust, citing the minor nature of the offense and the government's retroactive application of the rule. The case highlights concerns about the administration's mass review of student records for minor offenses leading to visa revocations.
