哈佛大学和麻省理工学院起诉美国政府反对留学生签证新规

The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts, seeks to block the directive, arguing it violates the Administrative Procedures Act. The universities argue that ICE's decision not to provide an exemption for online-only courses puts them in an "untenable situation" of either proceeding with their plans to operate fully or largely online or attempt to provide in-person learning.

该诉讼已经提交给美国马萨诸塞州地区法院，试图阻止这一政策，称其违反了《行政程序法》。两所大学认为，移民和海关执法局决定不为纯在线课程提供豁免，使其处于“站不住脚的境地”，要么继续他们的计划，全部或大部分教学都在线上进行，要么尝试提供线下授课。

The lawsuit also underscores the challenge posed to students: "Just weeks from the start of the fall semester, these students are largely unable to transfer to universities providing on-campus instruction, notwithstanding ICE's suggestion that they might do so to avoid removal from the country."

这起诉讼也突显了学生面临的挑战：“距离秋季学期开学仅有几周时间，这些学生大多无法转学到提供线下授课的大学，尽管移民和海关执法局建议他们可以这样做，以避免被驱逐出境。”

It continues: "Moreover, for many students, returning to their home countries to participate in online instruction is impossible, impracticable, prohibitively expensive, and/or dangerous."
