WASHINGTON—Attorneys for Stanford University’s student newspaper and two of its columnists filed a lawsuit against two officials in the Trump administration on Aug. 6 in opposition to the federal immigration enforcement practices.
The plaintiffs, who, apart from Stanford Daily, are unnamed, alleged that the activities of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the State Department—which are apprehending foreign nationals as well as canceling visas for international students—are having a chilling effect on free speech and expression and have led to self-censorship.
