A U.S. District Court judge denied the ACLU of Indiana’s request for a temporary restraining order to protect seven Indiana international students whose lawful status was terminated without explanation.
Earlier this week, the ACLU of Indiana filed a lawsuit against the United States Department of Homeland Security alleging that DHS violated the federal Administrative Procedure Act and the students’ Fifth Amendment right to due process.
“We’re obviously disappointed in this decision,” said Ken Falk, legal director at the ACLU of Indiana. “These students have invested years of their lives and thousands of dollars in their education. For DHS to terminate their status with no warning or reason is deeply unfair, and we believe it is illegal.”
The ACLU of Indiana is considering its options.
