A US federal judge has temporarily stopped the Trump administration from deporting an Indian student.
Krish Lal Isserdasani, 21, is studying at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His F-1 visa was suddenly canceled just weeks before graduation.
What Happened?
- Isserdasani was arrested in November 2024 for disorderly conduct.
- No charges were filed, and he thought the matter was closed.
- Without warning, his student visa was revoked on April 4, 2025.
- He was not given a chance to defend himself before the cancellation.
Court’s Decision
Judge William Conley ruled the visa cancellation unfair. He said:
- Isserdasani was denied due process.
- The sudden cancellation harmed his education and finances.
- A hearing is set for April 28 to decide the next steps.
Bigger Issue: Visa Crackdown
Since Trump returned to office:
- Over 1,300 international students lost visas.
- Many were targeted for minor past offenses or political activities.
- Isserdasani’s case is a rare legal win for affected students.
What’s Next?
The court’s decision gives hope to other students fighting unfair visa cancellations.
Key Takeaway: This case highlights the struggles of international students under strict immigration policies.
