Indiana students who sued the Department of Homeland Security for revoking their visas have had their international student status restored.
The Indiana division of the American Civil Liberties Union announced Tuesday afternoon that all nine students represented by the ACLU have had their international student status restored. The Department of Justice last week said their status would be restored.
Students were from Purdue, Notre Dame, and IU Indianapolis. Two of the students are set to graduate in May.
“They faced enormous financial, academic, and emotional hardship as a result of DHS’s actions, and we’re relieved that they once again have their student status,” ACLU Director Ken Falk said in the announcement. “They deserve to continue their studies here in Indiana.”
