A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked the deportation of two international students in Oregon and ordered the Trump administration to reinstate their visa status.

The decision follows two lawsuits filed by a student at Oregon State University and another at the University of Oregon, who had their F-1 student immigration status terminated by the administration.
