The new policy of the US government ends the legal status of international students. world News

Washington, April 30 (AP) The US government has begun to put new lights on international students, stating how it targeted thousands of people and laid a field to end their legal status. New details emerged in cases filed by some students, who had suddenly canceled their position in recent weeks.
In the last month, foreign students around the US have been provoked to know that their records were removed from a student database. Immigration and Customs EnforcementSome immigration hid for fear of being raised by the authorities or left his studies to return home.
On Friday, after the challenges of the court, federal officials stated that the government was restoring the legal status of international students, while it developed a framework to direct the end of the future. In filing in a court on Monday, it shared a new policy: A document issued in the weekend can be canceled the status of the students for several reasons.
Brad Banius, an immigration lawyer who represents a student, which was terminated, said that the new guidelines expanded the ICE’s right beyond the previous policy, which did not count the Visa disarray as the basis for losing legal status.
“This was just given to them by carte blanch to cancel the visa to the state department and then exile the students, even if they did not do anything wrong,” Banias said.
Many of the students who had a visa canceled or lost their legal status, stating that there were only minor violations on their records, including driving infrastation. Nothing knew why they were targeted at all.
The lawyers for the government provided some clarification at a hearing on Tuesday in the case of Akshatar Patel, an international student who studied information system in Texas in Texas. Patel’s position was abolished – and then the month was restored, and he is demanding a initial court verdict to stop him from being deported.
In the court filing and in hearing, Homeland Security officials said that they run the names of student visa holders through the National Crime Information Center, an FBI-Nun database, including reunion of information related to crimes. This includes the names of the suspects, missing persons and people who have been arrested, even if they have never been accused of crime or allegations were dropped.
Overall, about 6,400 students were identified in database search, US District Judge Ana Reyes said at the hearing on Tuesday. One of the students was Patel, which was pulled with careless driving in 2018.
Patel appears in a spreadsheet with 734 students whose names came in NCIC. The spreadsheet was sent to a Homeland Security Officer who replied within 24 hours of receiving it: “Please finish everyone in Sevis.” It is a separate database that lists foreigners, who have legal status as students in the US.
Reece said that the short time limit suggested that no one personally reviewed the records to find out why the names of the students came to the NCIC.
The President who appointed by Biden said, “If someone was defeated, all this could have been avoided.” He said that the government has “demonstrated a lack of concern for the people coming to this country”.
When the colleges found that the students were no longer a legal status, it inspired the chaos and confusion. In the past, college officials say, colleges told the government that students were no longer studying in school. In some cases, colleges asked the students to stop working or take classes and warned them that they could be deported.
Nevertheless, the government lawyers said that the change in the database did not mean that the students really lost the legal status, even though some students were “failure to maintain the situation”. Instead, the lawyers said, it was intended to be a “investigative red flag”.
Andre Watson of the Department of Homeland Security said, “Mr. Patel is legal in the US.” “He is not subject to immediate custody or removal.”
Reece refused to issue an initial prohibition and urged the lawyers of both sides to make a compromise to ensure that Patel could live in America.
