Several college presidents sued the Trump administration over a policy change that amended how a foreign national’s “unlawful presence” in the U.S. is calculated to include more time, making it more difficult for many to stay in the U.S. They argued that the change would harm students, scholars, and others who sometimes temporarily lost legal status while switching schools and jobs. On February 6, Judge Biggs ruled that the change “impermissibly conflicted” with immigration law, and issued a permanent injunction against the policy.
