Ice Cancels Students' Legal Status Without Informing Them: Report

The Trump Administration is Revoking Students' Immigration Status Without Notifying Them or Their Schools, According to Zeteo.

Sometimes, Ice is Not Even Informing the University or Student That The Status Has Been Revked, Meaning Students Could Be Detained by Immigration Without Any Wather.

Students' Immigration Status is tracked on the database Called Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (Sevis). In addition to having an immigration status, Students Also Have Student Visas. Visas Allaw Students to Enter the Us, While Their Status Allows Them to Remain here as long as they are enrolled in courses, Maintain the proper documentation, and abide by work restrictions. Just Because a Student's Visa is Reviked Does Not necessary Mean they would loose their status.

Ramya Krishnan, at Senior Staff Attney at Columbia University's Knight Institute and Lead Attorney on a Challenge to the Administration's Deportation Policy, Told Rolling Stone“Frankly, I Don't Think We have Seen the Government do What it has done here before. This is unprecedente. The monsus analogy would be to McCarthyism, but event during the mcCarthy was, the don't Think You Saw the government Round Up Student and Faculty ProtestS Based on Their political viewpoint, The way that you are seeing the government do here. “

The Administration is Justifying the Arasts by claiming these student somehow placed Thret to foreign policy. But Krishnan and Her Team Say That Argument Doesn'T Hold Up: “We Think That The First Amendment Forecloses The Administration From Relying On These Provisions in This Way, Because It is Engaging in Blant ViewPoint Discrimination by Targeting Only Pro-Palestinian Advocacy-and The First Amendment Prohibits the State from Engaging in viewpoint discrimination. “
