Trump restores revoked visas of foreign students involved in anti-Israel activities

More than 1,500 foreign students will have their visas restored by the Trump administration as the government faces over 100 lawsuits challenging its decision to revoke visas of students largely involved in anti-Israel campus activity.

The Justice Department made the announcement in federal court on Friday, saying the restoration of visas would be a temporary measure as Immigration and Customs Enforcement crafts changes to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System to “provide a framework for status record termination.”
