International students at Fordham University and CUNY have seen their visa statuses reinstated after previously being revoked during the Trump administration’s strict immigration enforcement. Many students suspected their visas were revoked due to their pro-Palestinian activism, while others remained unsure. On April 25, the Trump administration announced temporary restoration of legal status for affected international students, following persistent legal challenges. Courts mandated their reintegration into the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), vital for maintaining legal residency and immigration status, after widespread judicial and institutional pushback against the administration's actions.
International students at Fordham University and CUNY have had their visa statuses reinstated after being revoked during the Trump administration's immigration policies, amid concerns regarding their pro-Palestinian activism.
The reinstatement of legal status for these students comes after national legal actions and rulings mandated that students must be restored in the SEVIS system, crucial for their residency.
Many affected students were unclear about the reasons for their visa revocations, while some suspect it was linked to the Trump administration's stance on their advocacy.
The reinstatement of these students highlights ongoing tensions surrounding immigration policy and activism, reflecting broader legal and societal challenges faced by international students in the U.S.
