According to NPR, more than 280 colleges and universities in at least 23 states have seen Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) terminations. Following SEVIS termination, a student's visa is usually revoked. Judges in more than 50 cases have issued orders to the Trump administration to reinstate student records in SEVIS. The Department of Justice announced April 25 it would restore SEVIS records. However, the administration said it has plans for a new policy for students on visas.
