In a significant policy shift, the U.S. government has implemented new measures regarding the legal status of international students, which now allows for visa revocations to potentially lead to legal status terminations. This change comes amid reports that the Trump administration had previously revoked thousands of visas, particularly targeting students with criminal records. Federal agencies such as ICE have signaled a reversal on these terminations, with many students having their visas reinstated following legal challenges and public outcry. However, concerns remain about the potential for future removals, with experts warning that such actions could deter top international talent from studying in the U.S. Legal battles continue as affected students seek to ensure their status is protected.
