California Sues Trump Administration Over New Policy Restricting International Student Visas

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and state public
education leaders announced on Thursday that they’re suing the
Trump administration over a new rule requiring foreign college
students to leave the U.S. if their classes are online-only when
they resume in the fall. California, which is home to the largest
population of international students in the country, follows
Harvard and M.I.T., who filed a joint suit and asked for an
emergency order to stop the new policy. California’s public college
systems are now reviewing their ability to offer some in-person
classes to protect international students who could be deported or
barred from re-entering the country under the new rule, which is
raising health and safety concerns. We’ll hear from Attorney
General Becerra, as well as from students who could be affected,
and discuss the implications of the policy.
