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.
(This summary is temporary, while we research the case.) On April 23, 2025, this class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of international students—attending school on F-1 visas--in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and their agency heads and other immigration-related officials. In early April, the Defendants abruptly terminated the Plaintiffs’, and other international students’, F-1 visa and records with the Student and Exchange Visitor Information (SEVIS), effectively stripping them of their ability to remain a student in the United States. The Plaintiffs alleged that Defendants’ actions violated the Administrative Procedure Act and the Fifth Amendment.
