The Trump administration has announced that it will restore the student visa registrations of potentially thousands of foreign students in the United States whose legal status had recently been terminated. This decision came during a court hearing in Boston where a challenge was being heard by international students suing over the administration's actions. The students' status had been revoked as a result of their records being removed from a database of foreign student visa holders. The database monitors compliance with visa terms and records information such as addresses and progress towards graduation.
