Steve Yale-Loehr was quoted by Epoch Times in New D/S Rules for International Students Nearing Effective Date; Lawsuit Still Unresolved. He said that he believes the plaintiffs have a “very good chance of winning” the lawsuit discussed in the article, noting that procedurally, the Department of Homeland Security failed to adequately consider the thousands of comments criticizing the proposed rule; moreover, he said, eliminating D/S (duration of status) could be considered a substantive violation of the law. He believes the judge will make a ruling before September 14, 2026, which is at least one day before the new rule takes effect.
