Higher Education Groups Sue ICE Over New Curricular Practical Training (CPT) Restrictions for International Students

A coalition of major higher education organizations, including NAFSA and the Association of American Universities (AAU), has filed a lawsuit against ICE, DHS, and the Department of Justice. The suit challenges new, stricter interpretations of Curricular Practical Training (CPT) that were issued without prior notice, impacting international students' access to work opportunities and putting long-standing campus practices at risk.
