ACLU of Indiana sues Trump admin, claims DHS violated rights of foreign students
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Indiana filed a suit against the Trump administration on Tuesday, claiming that the lawful status of seven international students in Indiana were reportedly terminated without explanation.
The suit claims that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not offer the students any opportunity to challenge the decisions and therefore violated due process rights. The suit names DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and Todd Lyons, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The Trump administration has targeted hundreds of international students in recent weeks for their engagement in anti-Israel protests, which the administration argued was support for U.S.-designated terrorist organization Hamas. The administration has also revoked visas for international students over past infractions such as traffic violations.
“There is no rhyme or reason for DHS’s action,” ACLU of Indiana Legal Director Ken Falk said. “To terminate an international student’s status, the U.S. government must adhere to regulatory standards and provide basic due process, which it has failed to do.”

Plaintiffs claimed international students are allowed to continue their studies and maintain their legal residency status even after their visas get revoked.
The lawsuit asked the U.S. District Court to allow the seven international students to continue their studies by reinstating their status. A temporary restraining order has also been requested to provide immediate protection to the students, according to the ACLU of Indiana.
Among the students named in the lawsuit, six are Chinese citizens attending Purdue University or Indiana University Indianapolis. Another student is a Nigerian citizen attending the University of Notre Dame. Two of the seven students named were expected to graduate next month.
“The impact on these students’ lives is profound, and now they live in fear of being deported at any moment,” Falk continued. “We’re calling on the court to take immediate steps to stop these unlawful actions.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the DHS for comment, but they did not immediately respond.
The lawsuit is one of the increasing number of complaints the White House is facing over student visa revocation.
Numerous international students whose visas were terminated without explanation recently also filed another suit against the Trump administration over an alleged violation of due process.

Trump administration officials have defended the revocation of student visas, claiming that the government reserves the right to cancel them.
“There is no right to a student visa,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on March 28. “We can cancel a student visa under the law just the same way that we can deny a student visa under the law. And we will do so in cases we find appropriate,”

The sheriff’s office said they were called there at around 6:25 p.m. After deputies secured the area, they investigated and learned there was an argument during a family picnic. A woman who was at the picnic “stormed away” and fired two shots through her sunroof as she drove off. No one was injured.
Law enforcement activity at Lake Park on June 13.
Witnesses gave deputies a description of the woman’s vehicle. They then went to a home tied to the vehicle’s license plates, where they found the vehicle and the woman.
The woman, a 36-year-old from Milwaukee, was taken into custody. Deputies found a shell casing from the vehicle, which appeared to match another that was found at the crime scene.
What we don’t know:
The sheriff’s office said the woman is in custody pending criminal charges, but it’s not clear at this time what those charges would be. The incident remains under investigation.
Editor’s note: The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office issued a correction to its initial report, which claimed deputies found a gun in the woman’s car. It was also updated to reflect new details about the suspect’s identity.

On Saturday, people gathered at Bethune Park in Minneapolis to celebrate Juneteenth.
“The energy is electric. Everybody out here is having so much fun,” said Andrew Kuria, who was helping his aunt, a vendor.
Fun with meaning and a purpose of celebrating a holiday close to many hearts.
“Juneteenth,” said Imani Waters, who was singing at the event. “Emancipation, and Black people just being able to celebrate our history.”
Community organizers started the Minneapolis tradition in 1982, filling a gap at a time when many didn’t know about the holiday. The Minneapolis Park and Recreation board hosted Saturday’s event, featuring music, food and vendors like Mary Kuria, who’s originally from Kenya.
“Since I’m from Kenya, I thought I could find some people to make stuff for me and then I can bring it here,” said Mary Kuria, who owns Shiro’s African Boutique.
The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture says although the Emancipation Proclamation freed African Americans in rebelling states Jan. 1, 1863, it wasn’t until June 19, 1865, when it was actually fully enforced with the Union army.
“We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the African Americans who were brought here as slaves,” said Mary Kuria. “They actually made a stepping stone for a lot of us, especially Africans, to be able to come here.”
When it comes to 2026: “I think we’re doing better. I think we can improve in certain areas. I know we have a lot of grey areas, but hey, there’s always room for improvement,” said Karla Nelson, who attended the event.
“We’ve come a long way and we have a long way to go,” Waters added.
“It’s a reminder that change can happen,” Andrew Kuria told WCCO.
Juneteenth became a federally recognized holiday in 2021. Minnesota followed suit in 2023, giving the day off to state workers. Wisconsin does not.
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Fever are now tied for the longest winning streak of the season after Saturday night’s win against the Connecticut Sun.
Indiana took down the Sun, 85-75, to mark the Fever’s third straight win.
Caitlin Clark had an impressive night on the offensive end. Clark had 25 points and knocked down five three-pointers in Indiana’s double-digit win.
Fever center Aliyah Boston also had a productive showing. The fourth-year Fever center recorded a double-double with her 13-point and 11-rebound performance. Saturday marked Boston’s third consecutive game with a double-double, and it’s her fourth this season.
The Fever committed 17 turnovers on Saturday, compared to the Sun’s nine. The difference, though, is that Indiana scored 25 points off turnovers to the Sun’s 14 points.
Indiana improves to 8-5 on the season and looks ahead to a home matchup against the Toronto Tempo at 7:00 p.m. this Tuesday, June 16th.
