Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Judge Orders Reinstatement of Canceled Visas for 133 Foreign Students

HeadlineApr 22, 2025

A federal judge in Georgia has temporarily ordered the Trump administration to reinstate the visas of at least 133 foreign students. Judge Victoria Marie Calvert’s order would, for now, block the termination of their student visas while their lawsuit resolves in court. A similar suit challenging Trump’s mass cancellation of student visas has also been filed in New Hampshire. The news site Higher Ed Dive reports the Trump administration has so far terminated the visas of more than 1,550 international students, putting them at risk of deportation. Many of them have been targeted for participating in Gaza solidarity protests on campus, while others have had their visas revoked over past minor offenses like traffic infractions.
