U.S. Administration Reverses Course on International Student Visas Amid Legal Challenges

In a significant policy shift, the U.S. administration has restored legal status for many international students after facing backlash and numerous legal challenges. The move notably reverses earlier decisions that abruptly terminated the visas of thousands of students, prompting protests from universities and advocacy groups. Reports indicate that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is working on a framework to officially reaffirm the legal status of affected students, while the government emphasizes this restoration is temporary. This development comes as students across the nation celebrate the reinstatement of their visas, with courts backing the rights of international students targeted by the previous policy. Legal experts continue to monitor the situation, highlighting the ongoing tensions between immigration enforcement and educational institutions.
