  • The U.S. government has begun shedding new light on a crackdown on international students, spelling out how it targeted thousands of people and laying out the grounds on which it says they can lose their legal status.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced a policy change on July 6, 2020, that would affect international students, particularly those enrolled in fully online programs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Under the new directive, international students on F-1 and M-1 visas would be barred from staying in the U.S. if their courses were entirely online for the fall semester. This policy shift could force students to leave the country or transfer to schools offering in-person classes, amidst widespread criticism from universities and advocacy groups who argue that the decision disrupts students' education and adds uncertainty during the health crisis. In response, several universities, including Harvard and MIT, filed a lawsuit against the policy, leading to a temporary restraining order on July 14, 2020, which halted the implementation of the new rule pending further legal review.
