International students in the U.S. are seeking court protection after the Trump administration revoked the rights of thousands of student visa holders to remain in the country. Judges in several states issued emergency orders to prevent immigration officials from deporting the students. The government removed the students from a database of foreign student visa holders, putting them at risk of deportation. Many of the students who have sued say their status was revoked based on criminal record searches that found dismissed charges or minor offenses.
