ATLANTA (AP) — Some international students in the U.S. who have had their legal status terminated in recent weeks have found a measure of success in court, with federal judges around the country issuing orders to restore students’ status at least temporarily. More than a thousand international students have had their visas revoked or their status ended, with their academic careers — and their lives in the U.S. — thrown into doubt in a widespread crackdown by the Trump administration. Judges have issued temporary restraining orders in states including Georgia, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Montana, Oregon and Washington. Judges have denied similar requests in some other cases.
