California first state to sue Trump administration over new international student visa rules

California became the first state to sue the Trump administration over a new visa rule that says international students must leave the United States if all their classes are online, the state’s Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced Thursday.

The suit, which is supported by California State University system (CSU) and California Community Colleges officials, claims it unfairly harms international students and puts "themselves, teachers, other students and the community at large at risk of getting and spreading the coronavirus -- or be subject to deportation."
