More than a thousand international students in the US have had their legal status terminated, putting their academic careers and lives in the country at risk. Some students have been successful in court, with federal judges issuing orders to restore their legal status temporarily. However, the Trump administration's crackdown on international students has caused significant disruptions and uncertainty. The government argues that the students can transfer their academic credits or find jobs in another country, but many students have expressed concerns about their future prospects and fear of deportation.
