Description: A federal judge has blocked new DHS rules that would’ve capped foreign student and journalist visas, calling the department’s reasoning “exceptionally weak” and warning of potential First Amendment violations. The original plan threatened to severely limit stays—up to four years for students and even shorter terms for journalists, especially from China—risking damage to U.S. education and economy. Critics, including universities and unions, argued the rules ignored public feedback and could enable viewpoint-based denials. While the department insists it’s tightening immigration controls, the judge’s ruling preserves current visa flexibility and underscores concerns over government discretion in immigration enforcement.
