ATLANTA – – A group of 17 international students of universities across the country has submitted a federal law in Georgia.
The lawsuit accuses the US immigration and the enforcement of the customs department to illegally end its student status without proper procedure.

What we know:
The lawsuit was submitted in the northern district of Georgia and claims that ice cream had illegally used the student and the exchange of visitor information systems (SEVIS) in order to exchange their legal status despite their continuous compliance with the Visa conditions. The suit names the US general Prosecutor Merrick Garland, the secretary of the home protection, Alejandro Mayorkas, and the reigning ice director Tae Johnson as a defendant.
The plaintiffs, which were identified under pseudonyms such as Jane DOE 1 and John Doe 2 based on retaliation measures, say that their Sevis recordings have been abruptly terminated. The dismissals were based on vague indications on Visa revocations or minor criminal background checks – some with traffic quotes, young people records or charged charges.
Several cases were stated in the lawsuit in which the students received the announcement that their Sevis records were marked as “terminated” due to vague or inappropriate reasons. In many cases, the students were informed that their status was “identified in criminal register controls” despite the non -formal charges, convictions or criminal offenses.
A plaintiff, Jane DOE 1, an athlete of the Colombian National and Division I at Kennesaw State University, said that her Sevi's status had been ended after a released indictment against domestic violence. Another plaintiff, John Doe 3, a senior at Georgia Tech, was informed about the termination despite his only legal records with a released traffic debt.
The actions of ICE, the claims for action, violate the law on the administrative procedure and the appropriate protection of the fifth amendment. The plaintiffs claim that they have no prior notice or an opportunity to deny the dismissals.
What you say:
According to the suit, “Ice created chaos because the schools tried to understand what happens and do their best to inform and advise the students.” “Even if a visa is revoked, ICE is not entitled to terminate the plaintiff's student status,” the complaint said. “The plaintiffs have a constitutionally protected ownership of their Sevis registration,” says the lawsuit and states that the removal of the system not only “endangered” education, employment, employment and re -entry into the USA, was not placed in the distance method, “says the complaint.” Eis cannot abuse the law, to deal with the law, to deal with the status of the status. Strip and pass them out of the country without a process. “
The case takes place in the middle of an increased examination of the enforcement of the student visa under the Trump administration. The plaintiffs warn that the political shift could have terrifying effects on university formation and international enrollment in the United States
What we don't know:
The accused listed in this lawsuit still have to submit an answer.
They deeper:
The Sevis database is a system used by the Ministry of Homeland Security to monitor compliance with international students compliance with the conditions of their F-1-Visa status. The students argue that the revocation of a visa alone does not approved a Sevis notice in accordance with the applicable federal regulations. The lawsuit also emphasizes that several universities, including the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech, were blindly made by the mass complaints and were not responsible for the initiation.
What's next:
The lawyers Charles Kuck and Danielle Claffey, who submitted the lawsuit on April 11, apply for a temporary injunction to restore the Sevis registrations of the students and to restore their legal status, including the work permit as part of OPT or CPT programs. The court has not yet decided on the application for emergency aid.
