These Wayne State & University of Michigan Students Are Suing Homeland Security
There’s a lot of turmoil in the country right now amid the deportations and the removal of immigrants that has been put into place by President Donald Trump. It’s only recently been discovered that there are four students in the state of Michigan who are going as far as pressing charges against the Department of Homeland Security, under the direction of Kristi Noem.
The ACLU, which is the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan, filed the lawsuit, defending individuals who originally come from India, China, and Nepal, last week, after they lost their student status in the United States while attending the University of Michigan and Wayne State.
The Detroit Free Press covered this lawsuit last week, as they discussed the specifics, the Executive Director of the ACLU of Michigan also commented on how they feel it is the Trump administration’s goal to remove immigrants without due process.
The ACLU of Michigan on Thursday filed a lawsuit on behalf of the individuals from India, China and Nepal against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court Eastern District of Michigan, also names Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Todd Lyons and the Detroit field office director for ICE enforcement and removal operations, Robert Lynch, as defendants.
Loren Khogali, the executive director of the ACLU of Michigan, spoke about how she feels it's the Trump Administration's goal to remove immigrants without due process:
The aim of this administration is to sow chaos and fear by attacking some people to terrorize us all. Now, they are coming for international students who provide critical perspectives and contributions to our academic communities and, through their spending, make a major contribution to our economy.
