The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia concluded that DHS did not exceed its statutory authority under the INA in issuing the 2016 Optional Practical Training (OPT) rule, and thus found that both the 12-month OPT and the STEM OPT extension programs are lawful. Accordingly, the court denied the Washington Alliance of Technology Workers’ (WashTech) motion for summary judgment, granted the government’s and the intervenors’ motions for summary judgement, and denied WashTech motion to strike.

21 Republicans in the House of Representatives sent a letter this week to DHS and the Secretary of State. In that letter, they argued that Optional Practical Training (OPT) should stay “fully intact” so that the U.S. continues to be “an attractive destination for international students.” Optional Practical Training, which has been a particular target of the Trump administration, allows graduate students to work and get practical training in the U.S. after graduation.
