Federal Judge Grants Injunction for University of Iowa Students Who Had Their Visas Revoked

  • On Thursday, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction preventing the removal of four students and alumni from the University of Iowa after their student visas were revoked.
  • The injunction followed a lawsuit by the students who challenged Homeland Security’s arbitrary termination of their statuses in the SEVIS federal database, a critical system relied on by universities and authorities.
  • Judge Ebinger disagreed with Homeland Security’s assertion that changes in SEVIS status are insignificant, highlighting that such status terminations greatly impede students’ ability to study, work, and pursue future immigration opportunities.
  • Ebinger stated the students showed a strong likelihood of success and declared that imposing consequences without obeying regulations is “arbitrary and capricious,” while also noting little confidence in agency compliance.
  • The injunction bars Homeland Security and ICE from detaining or deporting the plaintiffs without court notice, allowing legal counsel to contest actions, and it remains in effect during ongoing litigation.
