11 Stony Brook international students regain legal status, after
Trump administration reverses visa revocation

The federal government has restored the legal status of the 11
Stony Brook University international students who had their
visas revoked by the Trump administration, school officials
announced on Monday.
The 11 students were among more than 1,200 international
students enrolled at U.S. colleges, universities and university
systems who had their visas revoked or their legal status
terminated since March, according to a review by The Associated
Press.
The Trump administration announced its reversal of the visa
revocation Friday after many international students filed court
challenges against the move, many citing a lack of due process.
"Our Office of Global Affairs team has already been in contact
with the affected students," Stony Brook officials said in a
joint statement. "This change means on-campus employment can be
restored, and allows these students to return their full
attention to their academic pursuits ... We continue to update
the Immigration Policy Updates page."
The students impacted at Stony Brook were among at least 40
international students attending SUNY schools that were
impacted. International students enrolled at many other New York
colleges and universities also had their visas affected.
A SUNY spokesperson could not immediately be reached for
comment. None of the Stony Brook international students impacted
were identified.
In some cases, international students have been targeted for
their support of pro-Palestinian causes, but others were
targeted for minor infractions like parking tickets or
identified through criminal records checks, said Lamya Agarwala,
a supervising attorney at the Council on American-Islamic
Relations’ New York office
In one of the more notable cases, a judge recently ruled that
the Trump administration can move ahead with efforts to deport
Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University graduate student
arrested for leading pro-Palestinian protests on campus.
But other international students have had success in the
courtroom getting their legal status restored, at least
temporarily.
Federal judges have granted temporary restraining orders in
Oregon, Georgia, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Montana and
Washington State, after students filed lawsuits claiming they
were denied due process, according to The AP. Last week, a
federal judge ordered the U.S. government to restore the visa
status of two international students and temporarily blocked
their deportation.
Stony Brook University has a large international student
population, with more than 3,800 international students in the
fall of 2024, according to the university's 2024-25 fact book.
In a post on the university website dated April 15, school
officials said they were working with impacted students to
"support them in completing their academic course of study" and
provide resources to those who are not able to work because
their immigration status was terminated.
On Monday, university officials said the Office of Global
Affairs team "is on call around the clock" and can be reached at
globalaffairs@stonybrook.edu.
"We also recognize many at the university continue to be
concerned about other impacts to higher education," Monday's
statement said. "We are confident that as we face new
challenges, our Stony Brook community will come together to
support each other and ensure we can remain focused on our
mission as New York’s leading flagship.

another non-sequitir- but former professor and physicist Yang
Chen-Ning passes away at 103 today.
HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yang_Chen-Ning
if you recognize the name- Yang Hall.
[quote]In 1965 he moved to Stony Brook University, where he was
named the Albert Einstein Professor of Physics and the first
director of the newly founded Institute for Theoretical Physics.
Today this institute is known as the C. N. Yang Institute for
Theoretical Physics.[2]
Yang retired from Stony Brook University in 1999, assuming the
title emeritus Professor. In 2010, the university honored Yang's
contributions to the university by naming its newest dormitory
building C. N. Yang Hall.[6]
Yang visited the Chinese mainland in 1971 for the first time
after the thaw in China–US relations, and has subsequently
worked to help the Chinese physics community rebuild the
research atmosphere,[7] which later eroded due to political
movements during the Cultural Revolution.[7] After retiring from
Stony Brook, he returned to Beijing as an honorary director of
Tsinghua University,[7][/quote]

you may have heard of Blue Oyster Cult- whether it was from the
70s rock scene, or SNL much much later...
in any event, the band formed right around SBU at 246 Christian
Ave in Setauket:
