Washington:
A 21 -year -old Indian student Krrish Lal Issardasani, who studied in the United States, won a major battle against the Trump administration’s action on immigration after a federal judge blocked the government’s attempt to deport it. A student of Esserdasani, a student from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was canceled a few weeks before the student visa was set to graduate.
On April 15, the court order prevented the Homeland Security Department from canceling the student visa or detaining Esserdasani, which was expected to graduate in early May.
About Krishna Lal Isserdasani
Krish Lal Isarsardasani is an Indian student studying at the University of Wisconsin -Madison under the F -1 student visa program. He is a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering and is ready to graduate in early May.
According to the court order, the engineering student was arrested on November 22, 2024 on suspicion of rape and disorganized conduct, with some of his friends, once left, joined the debate with some people after leaving. However, he was not convicted in the case.
Isserdasan’s student visa was canceled on 4 April. He approached the court through his lawyer, Shabnam Lotfi, demanding a temporary preventive order on exile after finishing the record in the government’s student and exchange visitor program (SEVIS) database.
In his Tuesday’s judgment, US District Judge William Conlay called the action of the Trump administration against Isradasani injustice and said that the Indian student was denied the fixed process in the cancellation of his visa.
The order stated, “They were not warned, no opportunity to explain or defend themselves, and there was no chance to fix any possible misconception before finishing their F -1 student visa record in Sevis.”
The court said that the sudden cancellation of the student’s visa threatened his educational future and caused significant financial and personal damage.
The judge wrote, “Given the educational expenses and potential losses of Issardasani, without obtaining its degree to leave the United States, the court concluded that Isradasani reliably demonstrated that he faces irreparable damage for which he has no adequate measure in law in the absence of prohibition relief.”
The court conducted the preliminary prohibition hearing in the case on 28 April.
Big victory for international students
Since President Trump returned to the White House in January, more than 1,300 international students’ visas were canceled across the US amid widespread rifts on immigration. Esserdasani UW -Madison had about 26 international students and one in 40 in the University of Visconsin, whose F -1 visa was rejected by the Trump administration in recent months.
Their visa was canceled without warning or appearing in a criminal record, the opportunity to respond, the widespread issue of racial profileing of foreign students was attracted to attention, many of which were allegedly targeted for political activities or minor previous offenses.
Issardasani’s lawyer, Lotfi, said that the order is considered one of the first national victory for international student visa holders, whose records were finished.
“We are grateful that the rule of law and justice has become strong,” said Veronica Sast, a colleague of Loti.
“The government has not given any legal rights for these illegal terms of innocent international students’ conditions, and we are happy that the court saw that.”
