Washington:
More than 130 international students across the United States have joined a federal case, accusing the Trump administration of illegally canceling their visas, showing court documents, endangering their legal status in the country.
The students abruptly and illegally eliminated their status in the government’s student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) database, which put them at risk of arrest, detention and exile.
The initial complaint was filed in the state of Georgia on 11 April on 11 April.
Since then, 116 more have been included as the administration of US President Donald Trump has chased a broad immigration rift that has targeted foreign students, among many others.
According to court documents and media reports, in campuses in the United States, international students have come to know that they have come to know that their visa has been canceled often or without any reason.
Georgia’s trial named US Attorney General Palm Bandy, Homeland Security Secretary Christie Nom and acting Ice Director Todd Leone as defendants and attempted to restore the canceled visa.
In the complaint, students who do not identify the name of “fears of vengeance”, the summits presented to each of the 17 original cases show that the cancellation of arbitrariness shows, each plaintiff gave his best estimate whether they could be motivated to target.
Some pointed to a minor traffic violation, such as John Do 2, a Chinese citizen who is following an engineering doctorate at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
He was informed by his school that his visa was canceled after a criminal record examined, but the violation was not specified. The student believes that it may be related to a traffic crime that was closed and, according to filing, has no other criminal history.
One of the Indian citizen students at the New York Institute of Technology said that he was not found guilty of shopkeeping, and the matter was dismissed.
The complaint stated, “In the last one week, Visa investigation and Sevis Termination have shaken the campuses across the country.”
“Sevis ends against the backdrop of several demands from universities by the federal government and threatened to cut federal funding in billions of dollars.”
The suit also said that the removal of students from the government database can be endangered by individuals to re -establish the United States in the future.
