According to the lawsuit, none of the students involved have been engaged in any criminal activities, breached immigration laws, or taken part in political protests.
Chinmay Deore, along with three other students attending Michigan public universities, has filed a lawsuit to challenge their potential deportation. The students claim their student immigration status was unjustly terminated, accusing authorities of unlawfully canceling their status. This legal action seeks to prevent their deportation and restore their immigration rights.
Three students—Xiangyun Bu and Qiuyi Yang from China, and Yogesh Joshi from Nepal—have filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and immigration officials. The students claim that their student immigration status in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) was terminated illegally, without adequate notice or explanation.
SEVIS is a crucial database used to track information about non-immigrant students and exchange visitors in the United States.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan announced on Thursday that they have filed a federal lawsuit, seeking an emergency injunction on behalf of students who had their F-1 student visas abruptly and unlawfully terminated by the Trump administration. According to the ACLU, these students had their immigration status revoked without valid justification or prior notice.
The lawsuit requests that the court reinstate the students’ F-1 status, allowing them to continue their studies without the looming threat of detention and deportation. This legal action aims to ensure that these students are not unfairly penalized and can complete their academic pursuits without further disruption.
