Assistant Professor Aadhithi Padmanabhan published "The Fox TV Problem with Deporting International Students" in Just Security on April 21, 2025. Padmanabhan directs Maryland Carey Law's Federal Appellate Immigration Clinic, part of the Chacón Center for Immigrant Justice at Maryland Carey Law.
The federal government has long asserted broad authority to regulate the admission, expulsion, and administrative detention of non–U.S. citizens. Even so, the speed and vigor with which the Trump administration has pursued international students in recent weeks is breathtaking, marking a radical departure from prior practice. It is imperative that our court system absorb some of the shockwaves the administration’s actions are sending by ensuring that students like Öztürk, who were caught completely off guard by the government’s new approach, receive the process to which they are due.
