An Indian student, along with three others, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration after their student visas were revoked earlier this month, putting them at risk of deportation. According to PTI, the students are using legal action to try and restore their immigration status in the U.S. This situation unfolds as the Trump administration has begun cancelling international students' visas, citing alleged involvement in campus activism. Many students, including several from India, have reportedly received emails instructing them to leave the country voluntarily. Even those facing minor charges, such as traffic offences or shoplifting, are being singled out.

Chinmay Deore from India, a student at Wayne State University, along with two students from China and one from Nepal, has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security and immigration officials. They claim that their student immigration status in the SEVIS system was "unlawfully terminated" without any prior notice or explanation. SEVIS is the official database that tracks non-immigrant students in the U.S. As a result of this action, the students have lost their legal status in the country and are now required to leave immediately.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit for the students in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. In their plea to restore their legal status, the students stated that they had not been accused of any crime or broken any immigration laws. They also clarified that they were not involved in any political protests on campus.

"At most, what seems to connect the students is that they had some encounter with some American law enforcement official at some point in the past, no matter how innocuous -- including receiving a speeding or parking ticket (or even a warning) or lawfully withdrawing an application to enter the US," as per the complaint.

As the Detroit Free Press reported, Loren Khogali, the executive director of the ACLU of Michigan, criticised the Trump administration, saying it was behaving as though fundamental constitutional principles don't bind it. "The aim of this administration is to sow chaos and fear by attacking some people to terrorise us all... They are now coming for international students who provide critical perspectives and contributions to our academic communities and, through their spending, make a major contribution to our economy," Khogali expressed.

This development follows a recent decision by a U.S. judge to temporarily stop the Trump administration from deporting 21-year-old Indian student Krish Lal Isserdasani, whose student visa had been revoked. Krish is expected to graduate in May.
