Case Summary

This case is one of numerous lawsuits challenging the Trump administration’s abrupt termination of immigration visas—mostly student or work visas—with no notice to the visa-holders and with dubious or no legal basis. You can see all of the cases here. On April 11, 2025, five international students—attending school on F-1 visas—filed this lawsuit in the U.S.  District Court for the Northern District of California, against President Donald Trump, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Acting Dir…

This case is one of numerous lawsuits challenging the Trump administration’s abrupt termination of immigration visas—mostly student or work visas—with no notice to the visa-holders and with dubious or no legal basis. You can see all of the cases here.

On April 11, 2025, five international students—attending school on F-1 visas—filed this lawsuit in the U.S.  District Court for the Northern District of California, against President Donald Trump, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Acting Director of the ICE San Francisco Field Office. In early April, the defendants had abruptly terminated the plaintiffs', and other international students’, record in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information (SEVIS) system, effectively stripping them of their ability to remain a student in the United States. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants actions were unlawful and designed to coerce them and other international students into abandoning their studies and self-deporting in contravention to the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.

The plaintiffs argue that SEVIS termination is unlawful unless a student actually violates the terms of their status, and they argue that none of them did. They seek declaratory and injunctive relief restoring their SEVIS status and preventing further enforcement actions or removal based on the unlawful terminations. The case was originally assigned to District Judge Noel Wise.

On April 16, the plaintiffs moved for a temporary restraining order (TRO) to enjoin the defendants from (1) arresting and incarcerating the plaintiffs pending the resolution of these proceedings; (2) transferring the plaintiffs outside the jurisdiction of this district pending the resolution of these proceedings; and (3) preventing any legal effect that the unlawful termination of the plaintiffs' SEVIS statuses or the potential unlawful revocation of their F-1 visas may have.

The following day, the court granted the plaintiffs' motion for a TRO, preserving the status quo pending further developments in this case.  The case was then marked as related to Doe v. Trump, 4:25-cv-03140  and reassigned to that case's judge, Jeffrey White, who held a hearing on April 25 and extended the TRO.  Numerous other cases were also marked related, and the Clearinghouse will follow the ongoing litigation in that case's record, here
