Atlanta, April 23 (RHC)-- A federal judge in the U.S. state of Georgia has temporarily ordered the Trump administration to reinstate the visas of at least 133 foreign students. 

Judge Victoria Marie Calvert’s order would, for now, block the termination of their student visas while their lawsuit resolves in court.  A similar suit challenging Trump’s mass cancellation of student visas has also been filed in New Hampshire. 

The news site Higher Ed Dive reports the Trump administration has so far terminated the visas of more than 1,550 international students, putting them at risk of deportation.   Many of them have been targeted for participating in Gaza solidarity protests on campus, while others have had their visas revoked over past minor offenses like traffic infractions.
