California Sues Trump Administration Over New Policy Restricting International Student Visas

Published: July 13, 2020, 10 a.m.

b'California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and state public education leaders announced on Thursday that they\\u2019re suing the Trump administration over a new rule requiring foreign college students to leave the U.S. if their classes are online-only when they resume in the fall. California, which is home to the largest population of international students in the country, follows Harvard and M.I.T., who filed a joint suit and asked for an emergency order to stop the new policy. California\\u2019s public college systems are now reviewing their ability to offer some in-person classes to protect international students who could be deported or barred from re-entering the country under the new rule, which is raising health and safety concerns. We\\u2019ll hear from Attorney General Becerra, as well as from students who could be affected, and discuss the implications of the policy.'
