The Trump administration is restoring the legal statuses of international students whose records were terminated in recent weeks, as the government crafts a new policy for status record termination. The move comes after the administration began revoking visas and legal statuses of international students, seemingly targeting those involved in political activism or with prior charges like DUIs. Many students have had their records abruptly reinstated with little explanation, bringing uncertainty about their ability to remain in the U.S. Some universities, like UC Berkeley and the Rochester Institute of Technology, are seeing students’ records reinstated, but not all students are affected by this reversal. While the restoration of statuses is a positive development, concerns remain about potential future consequences for students with terminated records, such as difficulties in applying for green cards. Immigration attorneys and universities across the U.S. are working to understand the government’s actions and support affected students. In the midst of uncertainty, efforts are being made to provide clarity and ensure the safety of international students in the U.S. Overall, the restoration of international students’ statuses is a step forward, but more actions need to be taken to fully address the situation created by the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
