US EditionSome international students in Minnesota see visas reinstated after Trump Administration reversal
- The Trump Administration reversed its decision to terminate the status of thousands of international students in the United States, reinstating their visas.
- This reversal followed legal challenges after ICE terminated SEVIS records across several Minnesota campuses, often without notice, causing student deportation fears.
- A Justice Department attorney told a federal court that more than 4,700 students would have their SEVIS records maintained or reactivated while ICE finalizes a future policy.
- School officials reported reinstatement: seven of eight students at St. Cloud State, eight of 12 at Mankato State, and four of 11 at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
- Immigration attorney David Wilson called this a positive step resulting from legal action but noted the policy remains incomplete and uncertainty continues for students.
