The ACLU of Indiana has taken legal action against the Indiana Department of Homeland Security on behalf of international students facing uncertain futures. One such student, Ronaldson Jean, a Haitian Creole student at Ivy Tech Community College, is seeking a student visa to continue his education in the U.S. under the CHNV Parole Program. However, he has not received any communication regarding his application and faces financial challenges in obtaining the visa.
The lawsuit filed by the ACLU claims that the DHS violated the Fifth Amendment rights of seven Indiana students by revoking their visas without allowing them to contest the decision. The lawsuit also argues that these actions breach federal law. Jean, while not among the seven students, worries about his own situation and the possibility of being targeted by immigration authorities.
Community members, such as Ken Owen from the Coalition for Our Immigrant Neighbors, emphasize the importance of supporting these students and removing barriers to their education. Jean, struggling with the uncertainty of his future, hopes for assistance in maintaining his mental well-being during this challenging time. The outcome of the legal action will have a significant impact on the lives of these students striving to build a future in the U.S.
