A U.S. federal judge has temporarily halted the Trump administration’s attempt to deport an Indian undergraduate student whose visa was recently canceled. The 21-year-old, enrolled in a U.S. university, faced deportation after her student visa was revoked under the administration’s stricter immigration policies. The court’s injunction provides the student with a temporary reprieve, allowing her to remain in the country while legal proceedings continue.
This ruling is part of a broader trend where federal judges have intervened in cases involving immigration enforcement actions by the Trump administration. For instance, a judge recently blocked the deportation of an Indian postdoctoral fellow at Georgetown University, Badar Khan Suri, who was accused of having ties to Hamas and promoting antisemitic content on social media. The court’s decision in Suri’s case was seen as a defense of free expression and due process rights .
