Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Judge Orders Reinstatement of Canceled Visas for 133 Foreign Students

HeadlineApr 22, 2025

A federal judge in Georgia has temporarily ordered the Trump administration to reinstate the visas of at least 133 foreign students. Judge Victoria Marie Calvert’s order would, for now, block the termination of their student visas while their lawsuit resolves in court. A similar suit challenging Trump’s mass cancellation of student visas has also been filed in New Hampshire. The news site Higher Ed Dive reports the Trump administration has so far terminated the visas of more than 1,550 international students, putting them at risk of deportation. Many of them have been targeted for participating in Gaza solidarity protests on campus, while others have had their visas revoked over past minor offenses like traffic infractions.
