The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is suing President Trump’s administration in federal court for targeting international students who had their legal status revoked.
“The consequences of Defendants’ unilateral and unlawful termination are dire. The termination puts students out of lawful student status. Plaintiffs and the class face immigration detention and deportation. Plaintiffs and the class face severe financial and academic hardship. Further, Plaintiffs and the class are not able to obtain their degrees and work pursuant to the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program after graduation,” ACLU’s lawyers wrote in the class action lawsuit filed in New Hampshire.
“Indeed, Defendants’ unilateral and unlawful terminations have severely disrupted the educational opportunities of students who are in the middle of their studies (and in the middle of a semester) and who are simply trying to obtain, often at considerable expense, an education in the United States while following all the rules required of them,” the attorneys said in the lawsuit filed by several ACLU affiliates.
Foreign students studying at U.S. universities and colleges have had their legal statuses terminated or their F-1 student visas revoked. As part of Trump’s immigration crackdown, around 1,100 students at more than 170 schools have been impacted since late last month, The Associated Press’ tally has found.

The ACLU can blow it out their bunghole
Foreign students are the only ones who can be in the country illegally.
They’re not going to deport American citizens, no matter how much the left tries to fear monger us into believing it.
Should he revoke more domestic student visas to balance it out?
... while following all the rules required of them,”
I just have a short sentence for the ACLU;
“You can get all the court decisions you want, but who is going to pay attention to you?”
I won’t.
Socialist front group
Stupid article. Says nothing about the legal theories being advanced.
Doesn’t matter whether you pay attention or not
Trump will pay attention.
ACLU will win at LEAST a temporary injunction.
Then it will get boiled down to the same thing - each one gets due process.
This is unfortunate but it will happen.
The ACLU is an Anti-American Communist organization. Time to officially declare everyone in it as TERRORISTS.
I assume they filed the suit with a Sympathetic Judge.
The ACLU has learned they have gone past their expiration date. They are using the lawfare technique to revived their rancid purposes. They are working to bolster the imported Democrat electorate made possible by the open borders stratagem.
Don’t outwardly support an enemy of the US and you have nothing to fear. Duh.
EC
You miss my point, He doesn’t have to pay attention or do anything.
Kind of like a little dog nipping at your heels, Pick it up and throw it out of the yard.
Point to me in the Federal constitution where ANY court can enforce it’s decisions.
Were any of the students actually in New Hampshire?
The ACLU wasn’t elected..
bullsh##! they are hear as guests if they misbehave for any reason, and even if we don’t have a reason, there out! period!
From what I can tell, the students who protest against the US, are anti-Semitic, etc., are the ones facing revoked student visas. Students who are actually here to study get to stay. If the troublemakers are having to leave, we should make sure that everyone knows why.
The ACLU is trying to give non citizens the same rights as citizens. Occasionally non citizens belong to a nation that is getting bombed or invaded. Clearly , by tradition , those non citizens have no rights at all. How could you casually kill them or destroy their property otherwise?
