AsianFin -- The Trump administration announced Friday that it is temporarily restoring the legal status of hundreds of foreign students in the United States, as it works on developing a policy framework that could eventually revoke those protections.

The decision was disclosed during a court hearing in Boston, where a federal judge is overseeing a lawsuit brought by an international student challenging the administration’s actions. The case is one of many filed nationwide in response to President Donald Trump’s broader efforts to tighten immigration policies.
