The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit against the federal government on behalf of international students in Indiana whose legal status was revoked without warning. According to the Indianapolis Business Journal, the students were enrolled in a program that allowed them to work legally in the United States but were suddenly told they had violated their status and faced deportation.
The lawsuit alleges that the students were not given a fair chance to defend themselves against the accusations and were denied due process. The ACLU argues that the federal government’s actions violate the students’ constitutional rights and are causing them harm by threatening their ability to continue their education and support themselves financially.
The students affected by the lawsuit come from countries around the world and were studying various subjects at Indiana universities. They had been following the rules of their visa program and were blindsided by the sudden revocation of their legal status.
The ACLU is seeking a court order to reinstate the students’ legal status and allow them to continue their studies and work in the United States. The organization hopes that the lawsuit will bring attention to the plight of international students who are unfairly targeted by government actions.
The federal government has not yet responded to the lawsuit, but the ACLU is prepared to fight for the rights of the affected students in court.
