ICE Strips 6,000+ International Students of Legal Status
ICE revoked the legal status of more than 6,000 international students nationwide in an unprecedented enforcement action, invalidating their student visas without individual hearings. Universities scrambled to advise affected students. Legal advocates challenged the mass revocations as arbitrary and violating due process. The crackdown represented the largest single action against student visa holders in U.S. history.
