International college students no longer target of ICE

College students targeted for visa revocations and deportation, including international students from WVU and Marshall represented by the ACLU, are getting their legal status back after the Trump administration and ICE backed down on Friday. The Trump administration announced in court it will no longer move against foreign students solely on the basis of names showing up in a national crime database. This comes after federal judges around the country issued dozens of emergency orders blocking immigration officials from unilaterally dumping the students from the system that allows them to be in the United States. In the action against the WVU student being challenged in Clarksburg federal court, the student in question had been arrested, but was cleared after authorities discovered he and his family were the victims of a scammer.
