Washington, DC - Today, American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) President Kelli Stump welcomed news that due to litigation efforts by myriad AILA members and organizations, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is reinstating international students' records with the following quote:
"The new ICE policy announcement regarding the reinstatement of international students' records in SEVIS in response to dozens of lawsuits filed across the country is welcome news. The agency vexatiously overstepped when it revoked student records in SEVIS without, what appears to be, going through the proper vetting channels. Across the country and the world, students, universities, and attorneys are breathing a collective sigh of relief today and at least for now. It's a sad reality that this administration's chaotic policies are the new normal. As we move forward, it is crucial to continue to address and rectify these harms and other similar threats to ensure that such overreach does not happen again."
