Visa status restored to Indiana students in ACLU lawsuit

- Their statuses were revoked amid nationwide terminations recorded in a federal immigration database, prompting the Department of Homeland Security to announce restoration plans on April 25.

- This reinstatement reduces deportation risk for affected students while lawsuits and uncertainty about visa revocations continue nationwide.
