Visas restored for 9 New Mexico State University international students
Trump administration restores visa registrations for foreign students
The Trump administration restored visa registrations for potentially thousands of foreign students.
Nine international students at New Mexico State University have had their visas restored amid an apparent change of course by President Donald Trump’s administration.
The visas for nine students who had their visas revoked, have been reinstated, according to NMSU. An immigration termination or violation doesn’t impact a student’s enrollment or academic standing at NMSU, so the students affected were not disenrolled.
NMSU recently reported the students had their visas revoked as a result of executive orders issued by Trump.
The university initially confirmed that six students had their visa revoked in April, but the university could not disclose the reason. However, since Trump took office, there have been more than 4,700 students deleted from the Student Exchange and Visitor Information System (SEVIS) database.
In a message to the campus community, NMSU President Valerio Ferme said that the revoked visas stem from the “result of infractions related to current law or outdated records,” not protests or social media posts.
Multiple universities have reported some international students discovered their visas were canceled in SEVIS via an unexpected text or email. Universities and the government use the database to track foreign students and students rely on it for their authorization to remain in the country. The terminations sparked more than 100 lawsuits.
Over 200 students removed from SEVIS have won court orders temporarily barring the administration from taking actions against them, according to a Reuters count.
A U.S. District Court in New Mexico ruled in favor of a Ghanaian doctoral student at New Mexico Tech last week, who challenged the abrupt termination of his F-1 student status without explanation. The Court granted the temporary restraining order requested by his legal team, allowing him to maintain his academic standing while his case proceeds.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Mexico and Huffman, Wallace & Monagle LLC are representing the student, referred to as, K.O.D. in the case.
“(The April 23, 2025) ruling sends a clear message that the government cannot arbitrarily target international students,” said Rebecca Sheff, senior staff attorney at the ACLU of New Mexico. “This is an important first step toward justice for K.O.D. and potentially hundreds of other international students facing similar situations.”
Southeastern New Mexico will see some snow while other places will generally see cooler, more winter-like temperatures. See the latest conditions at KOB.com/Weather.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Some notable cities in New Mexico could see multiple inches of snow, along with possible wind and cooler temperatures Sunday into Monday.
There is going to be snow across the southeast. A winter storm advisory is in effect all throughout areas like Ruidoso and out toward the Texas state line. A winter storm warning for Carlsbad and even a blizzard warning for the Guadalupe Mountains. These advisories and warnings indicate it’s going to continue until Monday at 6 p.m.
How much snow might there be? Ruidoso could see a few inches, along with other higher-elevation areas. Carlsbad might even see as much as two inches and Roswell has a very good chance of snow.
Wind gusts ranged from 23 mph for Hobbs and Clovis, 25 in Santa Rosa and similar readings in other places. Temperatures could hit sub-freezing temperatures in places like Ruidoso, Roswell, Carlsbad and Hobbs. Meanwhile, Gallup and Grants could get into the single-digits. Plus, places like Albuquerque and Santa Fe will be in the 20s but the big “winner” is Alamosa, Colorado, with 2 degrees.
