In response to President Donald Trump's intensified immigration crackdown, international students in the United States are fighting back in court. Judges in at least seven states issued emergency orders this week to prevent the deportation of students whose visas were suddenly revoked by immigration authorities.

The federal government has stripped more than 4,700 students from the Student and Exchange Visitor Information Systems database, threatening their legal status in the U.S. This initiative has drawn widespread legal challenges, with many students contesting the revocation of their visas due to minor infractions or baseless accusations.

Courts across the country are siding with international students, highlighting the lack of substantial evidence supporting the government's actions. This legal pushback coincides with numerous lawsuits filed by civil rights groups, aiming to secure the rights and futures of these students in America.
